vs its business-model standard
Three tenses, nine metrics. Unseen metrics stay unseen; the grade never fakes a number. Proxy era: provisional values, marked. Weighed as a advertising business: prior from its industry code (SEC 2711, Newspapers: Publishing or Publishing & Printing); the filing read can change it. All three tenses have at least two readings, so the archetype blend applies as printed.
The grade, in three tenses
Headline 5.9 out of ten, 9 of 9 metrics filed: past 4.4 out of ten, present 6.8 out of ten, future 6.2 out of ten. The past asks what it actually did, the present what it is doing right now, the future what it is set up to do next.
