I searched the internet in order to find what TLCI score was and found an article that says a few things that might be it or not: [https://www.gtc.org.uk/members-area/tlci-results.aspx](https://www.gtc.org.uk/members-area/tlci-results.aspx)

Halfway down the page is a table that I find very informative. It’d be interested in seeing something similar regarding CRI.
