Scientific

A mechanical method which takes all the symptoms with all the associated remedies and gradings, making a summary of the ones that show the strongest.

It is quite possible that a remedy not having the highest ranking can be most similar in personality to the disease when seen in light of the Materia Medica.

Pros

Gives the most thorough work-up of a case.

Cons

Involves an extreme amount of time when doing it by hand. Computers do this naturally and therefore is the typical method used by repertory programs.
Tends to favor those remedies which have the most symptoms recorded. Therefore polychrests are the most likely to have the highest scores.
