Suggestion for Overview screen

I love qualitative assessment as much as quantitative. It makes me feel good to read a bunch of praise about a planet. Given that, I think the qualitative Overview of each planet under the "Details" screen is quite robust but it could use a few more factors to build its full text.
1. The planet's rank. Go by percentile, based on overall rank - THE BEST PLANET gets its own text, the top 5% get their own text, top 10%, 20%, 50%, etc. Factor in its overalll rank to form a custom text that compares (or contrasts!) its excellent/terrible Planet Quality with its overall rank. i.e. "While the Sufugnoff colony has a laid-back social environment, largely due to its artificially maintained atmosphere, the Terran Republic has invested hugely in its success. The [Galactic Wonder Name], built in [year], is a superior achievement that has brought this small, rocky world out of mediocrity and into the galactic spotlight."
Will be adding more, but real life intervenes ATM....
BTW I don't want MY WORDING in there, that makes it boring. But just considering more factors in developing the Overview essay would make me spend hours trying to unravel every possible combination of essay. LOL
