Siri put it right, whereas I lost track of the problem statement. How you scout should depend on your goals. In my time as a scout, the goal was to make a pick list, but if you are looking to get picked, a better goal may be to scout weaknesses in potential opponents (ex: finding what 2013 cyclers could not drive through the pyramid so you know how to play defence on them).

If you are in picking position however, I would be wary of using your gut for anything more than choosing between two candidates who are worth the same amount of points on paper, but maybe play differently.
