<p><strong>EDIT:</strong> I have now taken a bit of time to update the question, giving more detail into the origin and structure of the data. I hope it's more clear now.</p>

<p>It's important that the solution is generally applicable however, since not all projects have the same setup.</p>

<hr>

<p>I have had my fair share of issues with some individuals here but I have yet not seen the kind of trigger-happy moderation like the kind shown <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/229165/categorization-of-variables-based-on-response-trends">here</a>. </p>

<p>I am not sure if you guys realize that it does actually take time to formulate a good question, to make it generally relevant for a wider audience. I have mentioned what I have tried, what I think the problem is.. The question is put on hold without a single comment about what needs to be clarified, boilerplate warning and put on-hold.</p>

<p>What is the vision for this QA site really? Are we as a community ok with this?</p>
