We want to give each edo a single score for how well it does in terms of consistency. Given n-edo, we start with the trivial mapping ⟨n| 0]. We then add each odd one by one, and look at how many additional intervals are consistent and inconsistent. When we add odd q, each consistent interval increases the score by 1/q2, and each inconsistent interval decreases the score by 3/q2. However, it is impossible to calculate this score precisely, as there would be infinitely many terms. Using a program I made on scratch, considering EDOs up to 311 and odds up to 255, here is a sequence of EDOs that have better consistency:

63-odd-limit, up to 20567edo (took a few minutes to generate):

Surprisingly, 20567edo itself isn't on the last list.
