5.9/10headline grade
vs its business-model standard
3.9/10past 6.8/10present 6.7/10future

Three tenses, nine metrics. Unseen metrics stay unseen; the grade never fakes a number. Proxy era: provisional values, marked. Weighed as a product business: prior from its industry code (SEC 2020, Dairy Products); the filing read can change it. All three tenses have at least two readings, so the archetype blend applies as printed.
