I am very confused.
Okay one, how the hell are those text files that large? Kilobytes? I've written treatises in notepad that didn't get that big for a dozen pages. You have whitespace. I can't even download Personalities.txt, my browser aborts it.
The requested data are SQL files to get your DB settings (which you already have , you used them to mod your game), and a spreadsheet to visualize the changes, which I can manage half of. I have an SQL server on my lappy, so I can make correct tables on my server, run your SQL , and then get text output of the table display. I can process that output and pretty-print it. I 'm not confident in reading the Google Sheets API, so I'll make a data browser and jma can use that to put into Wiley's sheet
You wrote "I tried to use the spreadsheet that is supposed to plug in and make the SQL," and that makes no sense, because you already have your SQL, you attached it some days ago.

I worry those policy flavours have constrained AIs to all use the same suboptimal strategy. You have restrained them all to think with minmaxxing, but minmaxxing is not correct always or even generally in this genre. Spaceship needs Rationalism, but all the others just need the resources they need; and the most valuable investment could be different things, depending on any number of other things. If the difference between 'poor' and 'okay' is greater than the difference between 'good' and 'excellent', then curbing your weaknesses is the good choice, which policies can do.
Making literally flavourful choices for policies, as with buildings, is something I could put up with for a while yet.
