"Easy" improvement to PR calculations

Tim, your stated purpose for the measurement here is probably where we are a bit away from each other. What you suggest are obvious useful tools for improving ones own game over a longer period of time. Very useful indeed. And not something that could be accomplished by a single PR measurement. That was not my intention.
Your analysis would be "the next step" when you want to improve. Not the higher level gauge of "where am I?" or single rough measurement of performance in a given sample of play.
As for breaking a game down into pieces, you have: Opening book moves, and non-contact - they are easy. Then you have everything in between :-) non-cantact could be broken down into bear-in and bear-off. So far, so good, so easy.
All the "in between" you have to categorize into position types. Again you could relatively easy single out some positions into some categories, but you would at some point end up with the ever-so-popular "Misc" leftovers.
I know that Karsten Nielsen many years ago worked very methodical with his errors like this. He derived a lot of position categories and described them very precise, then he took all of his errors, rolled them out, and put them into the system. Then when he felt that one part of his game needed a brush-up, he pulled out all the props for that category, and read through them.
He presented his categories at a seminar during Nordic Open some 10-12 years ago. Unfortunately I don't have the presentation anymore.
That was not so much "phases", rather type of games. And maybe that is more useful for the purpose you state?
I'm not sure if you could use the cube, or rather some kind of GWC - to break down the game into phases. But that could be an idea?
