The criteria page lists attributes that are either yes or no (binary).
I had suggested a weighted scoring approach way back for G1G1
activities. Here's that thread.

The idea is to score each attribute on a more granular scale than 0/1
and then weight each attribute based on importance for a particular
implementation.
