Default Wrangler RPI Equation

I kinda want to devise an RPI formula for ranking wranglers. Has this been done? Other than the ramp?
This obviously needs to be based on a list of criteria with a number range.
To start this thread what are your criteria you would use in your calculation.
Here are mine.

4HI torque
4LO torque
locked/unlocked
weight
breakover angle.
approach angle
departure angle
COG
tire footprint area (@Xpsi)
forward self recovery
rearward self recovery

I'd add ground clearance at the axles and RTI distance.
