Not 100% sure what you are asking - is the analysis based on the score or the topology [ie: structure] of these flow charts? If the latter, then it might be a good idea to read the Wiki page on graph theory and learn the terminology, etc:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_theory
There are all sorts of things you can "measure" about the graphs and then make a comparison based on these features.
If this isn't what you want then please make a post with some pictures (even badly drawn MS-paint will be fine) describing what you are doing with simple example(s) and we might be able to better help then.
