Would there be any chance of making the results openly accessible?
Most fingerboard data is useless as setups differ too much IMO. A couple of degrees difference in mounting is a huge difference in hang times

A couple of degrees difference in mounting is a huge difference in hang timesA couple of degrees will have a massive effect on the slopers but I'd say less so on pockets. Also a couple of degrees is quite a lot, I'd expect most fingerboards hung with any measure of care should be within 1/2 -1 degree of vertical.
Probably an equally distorting factor is the simple variability of the construction material, a 'sticky' BM hung at a wall with hundreds of grubby paws fondling it will feel like velcro compared to a slick home board.
So what to do. Get volunteers in a room to perform on a standard board, impractical. Give up on the whole venture, defeatist. Or accept that as imperfect a tool it is the BM is probably the closest thing to a standardised measuring tool available and just accept the limitations of the results, sounds almost sensible so lets not do that.
