    READ ALONGSIDE THE INDEX
    This market sits in the bottom 25% on productive capability but the bottom 5% on the IEPA composite. The productive base is running ahead of the system converting it, which points the diagnosis at conversion rather than capacity. Both figures rank the same 115 markets that carry each measure.
