You just rank players in those categories as Poor, Good, Great and show the player but not the party that information except the ranking for completion time. Make an explicit rule in the ToS against asking players about their ranking unless they share that information with harassment rules in effect. People who get a great ranking get 1k extra gil added to their reward per category, or something that is conceivable small but adds up overtime.

Guess what happens next. Mr. Tank who gets a poor for damage mitigation goes "why do I keep getting poor rankings for mit?". He then goes looks up about damage mit techs and begins to understand that not only it will improve his rankings but it makes him a more enjoyable person to play with, which makes him more comfortable playing tank. The healer that gets a poor ranking in overhealing despite the party living goes "why do i keep getting this?" looks stuff up means to heal a bit more efficiently which gives them time to play around with using their "dps kit" (lmao). The DPS who gets poor damage ranks might check something to learn the importance of positionals, when to use their AoE rotation.
I personally would choose against giving players any info on it at all, as people cannot be trusted with that info ingame, and we already have fflogs for finding out precisely how we are doing.
