To be clear, my suggestion is that I would manually tidy and collect the data and fit them to a specific schema, which then serves as a structured database which makes computational analysis easier
Once I've passed through it all to do the player win/loss stats page, it would be easy to give you TWG local mod for the purpose of editing the threads in the archive to bring everything into line in terms of tagging and so on to make it easier to parse.
