I *also* found the process of ranking difficult and time consuming for
candidates I was less familiar with - toward then end I was keeping a set
of notes with my interpretation of the short version of peoples attitudes
on my self selected set of platform/policy points that I cared about.

I think the only reasonable way to do this is ad-hoc; during the discussion
period (which I think we *really* should "leave some breathing room" in the
process to encourage that reflection and discussion) individuals in the
community that feel compelled to do so should try to share some
summarizations of the candidates.  I think ultimately it will be borderline
campaign propaganda (it's hard to reduce a lengthy nuanced response to a
complex subject into a pithy one-line summary) - but the hope or assumption
would be that our electorate is trying to make informed decisions and
someone putting in effort to sharing the results of their research is
trying to help with that goal.
