4.8/10headline grade
vs its business-model standard
3.3/10past 4.8/10present 6.2/10future

Three tenses, nine metrics. Unseen metrics stay unseen; the grade never fakes a number. Proxy era: provisional values, marked. Weighed as a distribution business: prior from its industry code (SEC 5051, Wholesale-Metals Service Centers & of fices); the filing read can change it. All three tenses have at least two readings, so the archetype blend applies as printed.
