The number of realized interventions (Realized) per risk category and the average relative BEAT score (BEAT score) per category of the farms are shown, and the average relative BEAT score per country for each risk category.

The total BEAT is the average relative BEAT score of that risk category across all countries. Per zone, the total number of interventions is also indicated.
