RE: Visualizing PG-HQ's data
In other words, we had best get back to gaming.

Aye mate, the goalposts keep moving, but it's not so bad. It's just a behavioral challenge... there are only ~440 unplayed scenarios right now. If everyone active on the site played 2 or 3 unplayed scenarios we'd be fully covered.
The catch-22, as Vince is so fond of pointing out, is that people want to play scenarios they are confident are balanced and fun, which requires data, which means well-documented scenarios tend to get even more well-documented whereas unplayed scenarios become even less appealing!

There is a flaw in your logic of they last paragraph. If they are unplayed how can they be balanced/unbalanced or fun or not fun. Tney are just not played. More probable answer people only play a few scenarios of a game and then move on. Some play what others have played without venturing into uncharted waters. But if there was some visiblity of the unplayed, big or small scenarios, I believe it would help get them played.

RE: Visualizing PG-HQ's data
I too have a fairly large number of plays from prior to the opening of the gates to PG-HQ. Unfortunately, all I have are play dates and results. I simply kept track of my wins and losses by date. If I were to load them all in all I would be able to do is give them a "3" in the absence of any other data. I still maintain this database (such as it is), and the only place where I rate a scenario is still here at HQ.
