Very interesting, I'm looking forward to the further results on the topic.
Regarding the time-value of points scouting, you are proposing to determine the "value" of points throughout the competition, and then modify a team's worth based on the "valued" points they score? Thus, a robot which consistently scores 3 points every match and does not improve or decline is worse at the end of the competition than at the start, because 3pts is worth less at the end?
It's an interesting theory. If you could get your hands on some hard scouting data from someone (maybe 1114?) for one of their events, you could test it out and see how much of an effect it has on the final results.
