I don't have any suggestion for doing this with only the records in base,
but you could do everything you've described with one transform record,
which I'll call 'T'.  Here are the field definitions:

T.A ... T.L are the goodness factors
T.CMTA ... T.CMTL are per-foil descriptions/comments, if needed
T.CLCM is 'max(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l)'
T.CLCN is 'a==m?1:b==m?2:c==m?3:d==m?4:e==m?5:0'
T.CLCO is 'f==m?6:g==m?7:h==m?8:i==m?9:j==m?10:0'
T.CLCP is '(k==m?11:l==m?12:n+o)-1'

After the record processes:
T.M is the max goodness factor
T.P is the index of the best foil
T.OUTP is the PV to which you want to write the foil index.

Oops.  I ignored the possibility that two foils might
have the same goodness factor, which is also the highest
goodness factor.  In this case, we could just take the first:
