Defend the impact and effort claims #99

I don't see any assigned meaning for the "low", "medium", and "high" ratings, and no explanation for why violating each guideline has the claimed impact. Why should readers believe these claims?

This is one of many pieces of feedback we have taken a lot from (here, the slack conversations, etc).

We absolutely intend to improve upon our measurability credibility and provide a more scientific index than having our current "group consensus" based targets (which granted were fine to get us off the ground, and have subject matter expert backing - but hard numbers is what we need). We are aiming to put in place a way to accurately measure the impact for the WSGs over time and be able to therefore provide a scoring system that is based upon reliable data.

More details will be provided at a later date but suffice to say that measurability (#104) is high on our priority list and will hopefully become a key player in our specifications development.
