Good point, but keep in mind that it's using old data -- collected under the
old system. Having an explicit "Spotlight" highlighting choice may (ought to)
make this not only easier but clearer for people.

Yup, the threshold can be set to 75 or 80 or 60 or whatever it turns out to
need (since everything internally is still 0-100). The "Spotlight" choice
that people pick is just a recommendatoin (taken seriously, of course) but
perhaps the Spotlight page "itself" could have its own opinion (i.e. the
threshold) if it needed to.
Wanna get it 100% automated, if possible. Not sure what to do about the left
column though -- no one has said it's useful or not useful. But IT's what
chews up so much time, and why I need desperately to shed the Spotlight from
my daily/weekly duties.
