The goal is to get 85% of the traveling public into a pre-check type of screening. Presumably that means a shift in the allocation of screening lines from standard to pre.

GE or the promised TSA system, will get you pre-check by selection rather than randomizer, so you should get it more often.
Pre-check type screening for all travelers escalating for cause is a much simpler solution , maintains security, and TSA meets the 85% goal immediately.
