Under Labour there were several boffins who work for the MoT who were doing exactly this, for many months. Our company works with the MoT (they're one of my key accounts), so I've had some direct contact with these people - they've effectively had all their hard work shelved by the change of government. These people (who are research scientists I might add - not necessarily a good thing) were pretty convinced they'd worked out a good model, so are actually quite gutted at the change. They also found out by seeing the front page of the Dominion the other day...
