This ACE meta guide attempts to document the opinion of each of the other guides about each candidate. In each row is a candidate; in each column is a guide-maker. Each cell, besides those in the first column and final three columns, constitute my attempt to summarize those opinions. The first column constitutes the candidates. The final three columns are sums of the support and oppose counts for the row, and then a sum, where the sum is support − oppose.
In general, no nuances whatsoever are in the counts, much less the sums, besides where the guide-maker made each obvious.
The headers on both axes happen to be in alphabetical order.
Legend
An attempt was made to translate from the other editor's guides (which may be differently worded)
- S = Support
- N = Neutral
- O = Oppose
- NA = Not available in that guide (or an incomplete opinion)
+ and − represent strong and weak for "support" and the opposite for "oppose" respectively, i.e. "O+" is "weak oppose" and "S+" is "strong support".

I am on the committee this year, so take any interpretation of these other guides on my part with a special grain of salt. It may also be more out of date than in previous years.
Nick's omitted for lack of interesting comparison.
Giraffer's and Kudpung's omitted for probability guessing.

I am running this year, so take any interpretation of these other guides on my part with a special grain of salt. It may also be more out of date than in previous years.
Like last year, Nick's omitted for lack of interesting comparison.
I have omitted Epiphyllumlover's and Giraffer's for not giving much of a lean to their guides.
