weight 22% of this tense · 69th percentile among 12 sector filers · read for its shareholders

What the record cannot read: Fewer than two of the three parts can be read: officer and director changes against the people in charge, the years the people in charge have been filing, the chief executive's years under the title.
How it was reasoned: one part: the chief executive's years on the record, the one part on file, ranked among 12 in its family.
Confidence: 35 of 100
What would change it: A filing that carries the missing parts replaces this estimate with the filed reading.
