I once had the notion of comparing the success rates of various
approaches to building software by comparing the cost of professional
liability insurance. The idea was that if Gymnastic Programming or
Ruck, or whatever, really were lower risk/faster/produced higher
quality etc than, say, the Logical Combined Procedure, then the
actuaries working out the premiums would know. 

But it turned out that, in the UK at least, you mostly just dial in
the amount of cover you want and the premium pops up with few other
questions asked. Bit of a shame, that.
