OK : I got the whole thing. There were specialist panels, public meetings etc, resulting in a priority high,medium,low -- where low means that NASA investment would have little impact on the field.

(Ignoring the fact that a NASA endorsement could have a big impact on other funding).

The details are in Appendix F -- particularly Figure F1.

The rating scale is curious and nonlinear , eg steps 1/2/3/9 -- and in some cases is negative. eg -9/-3/-1/1

Overall benefit was 0/3
Fit to needs  was OK, at 3/9  (three categories)
Technical Risk was 1/9
Sequence was -9/1
Effort was -9/0

and then THOSE are re-weighted to a final ranking.

Result : -39  (Max was 406 : Solar)
