Does the Technical Panel of the current system actually count the features achieved? What is shown on their computer screen? A checklist of features for them to click on the box if the feature is achieved? I am not a skater and have no clear idea how they actually do the judging. I'm inclined to believe they are judging by impression and may review the footage if they are not in agreement.
From what I can remember... based on what I've read: The tech panel does count features. From CoyoteChris's report as an audience member at the US nationals, where he got commentary from an IJS tech specialist: a panel would divvy up the work, one panelist would count up the revolutions in a spin, and another would look for edge changes. I think there's a video review if they're unsure on anything. But the panel very much works together, which wouldn't be the case in your proposed model.
Regardless, I think the basis of your idea is great. And it can be implemented in some form.
