If you want to account for factors like market size, that's pretty easy as well. You can create a function that divides win percentage by gross revenues. Not at all hard.

Instead, we had arbitrary number crunching to arrive at more or less the same outcome. The rankings appear to be just fine, it's just an incredibly stupid methodology to waste everyone's time.
Agreed. It screams "obligatory space filler" or "I get paid by the word." Or both.
