If we can find a way to get the registration database imported into the
datatracker, that would permit one to run some experiments.  We need that
data, because we need to know if someone is 3/5 qualified already.

I have written some specific ideas (close to, but not specific wording for
BCP10) on this thread.  If that was insufficient for you to evaluate
conceptually (parameters can be tweaked); can you tell me in what form you
think it needs to be presented?

Or is this really a continuation of the above paragraph; and really you are
saying you'd like to be able apply the process against real data, and observe
the results?  (running code)
