I'm beginning to see that now. Different teams look at different things in accordance with their team selection philosophy. Some look at scoring effectiveness and others look at more qualitative attributes to find the best match for their alliances. Team 1678 has a nice set of slides that discusses this important topic.
It's been quite an education so far.
