Other/Unknown severity reading
The standout signal for other/unknown is severity: 0 reported fatalities and 3 injuries (QUIET stamp) on 10 filings (SPARSE volume).
Sparse categories can swing on a single high-volume nameplate; treat the leader row as the actionable signal, not the category headline alone.
Next step: compare RAM 1500 against COMMUNICATION: AUTO CRASH NOTIFICATION on filing totals before treating other/unknown volume as a purchase signal.
