BI used a computer on the Keter to get statistics. For example, if a 
certain style of word had a meteg in the vast majority of apearances, 
they made it a klall and used that form in other places. Thus they 
reconstituted the parts of the Keter that were missing.

Using their klallim. they took a piece of the keter and removed all 
nikkud and  t'amim,  They then replaced the nikkud and t'amim according 
to their klallim and compared it with the original.  They had over 90% 
hat'ama.
