I can always appreciate a fellow number cruncher

Ratings perplex me.

When my mid-tier glads win they get ~4 ratings points.
When my really low ranked glad eeks out a win he gets 1 rating point.
When my glads lose sometimes they lose 1 rating point...sometimes 2.

Seems like the formula is a bit complex. But I have noticed that higher ranked glads get more ratings points per win than lower ranked ones. Win percentage may play a part in that...
