Now that we have adopted the “ranking system” to determine which psak to follow, what are the criteria in scoring a gadol? What factors do we consider?

Lomdus? Bekius? Charius? Yichus? Middos? Number of Talmidim? Number of Seforim? Followers? The number of press releases? the number of tzedaka campaigns that co-opt their picture? the number of times appears each month in Yated or Hamodia? the number of times they were mesader kiddushin? Any others? What weight is attributed to each factor?
