US Wire : Kent: 7.3 TCR = 220% of Steel Wiredrawing BLS 3.3 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

US Wire : Kent safety composite

US Wire : Kent scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 71% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 28%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
