Would be nice to have them integrated into the backend system.

Maybe, some professional thing equivalent to the F-test and stability test that eliminates all possible planets except the obvious ones. For the moment you cannot have less than 100% sure before announcing a new planet. A statistical test based on the systemic survey could lower the level of exigence, allowing announcements with a degree of confident smaller than 100%. What defines the edge of announceability?

So the problem isn't a valuation problem so much as it is a real scientific issue of not being able to deduce atmospheric properties from basic bulk planetary data.
