Join the club.  Each of us favors a method that fails some criterion or 
another.

I think the best fix is to identify how often each failed criterion 
occurs.  Probably as a percentage, or a percentage range.

Of course that's difficult to do.  Yet it will be more meaningful than 
just having a yes-or-no checkbox for each criterion.

Keep in mind that if you create a variation of SODA, that amounts to 
creating a new method, which probably requires a new name (or a 
qualification added to the SODA name).

Of course this reply doesn't directly answer your question.

The best solutions are not necessarily easy, but usually they are simple.
