I have had a request to clarify what the role's attitude to particular options actually mean, quantifying the payoffs in hard numbers. The instructions, as you can see, don't go beyond ranking the importance of the issues and labelling them in terms of acceptability, albeit the instructions do provide plenty of flavour. I can have a go at making a "translation" of the words into numbers, probably in a simple additive fashion. Would people prefer that? My major caveat would be, as to any maths, is that it may overspecify a situation, this can cause problems, especially as it will be a homebrew with potential uncaught bugs. I will do basic testing like ensuring that possible packages actually exist under the proposed scoring. Please respond by PM, and I will send out the quantified preferences if everyone either wants this or doesn't mind.
