The problem with Statistics is how the raw data is compiled.
Mission readiness.....Day VFR....touch and go's does not require much in the way of specialized equipment thus much easier to show a high readiness rate.
So....the comparison or analysis has to understand the context and basis of the data.
Its a requirement that will be tested against, not a statistic. So it will be precisely defined as being equivalent to a sortie for comparison.
So the B is required to perform 6 sorties a day versus 4 for the C, fiddling the numbers won't past the test, it has to do that. I presume the requirement is less for the C due to additional maintenance.
