Alaska alcohol industry score
One composite grade from Alaska's own TTB permit data, benchmarked against every other state and territory PlainAlcohol tracks (not an external industry standard). A state missing an input is graded on the remaining dimensions alone -- the missing weight moves to them rather than deflating the score.
TTB-permitted producers per 100,000 residents

The TTB FOIA "List of Permittees," published August 2026, public U.S. government data, reformatted without alteration.
