Perhaps a published work in two volumes:
  1. Volume 1: Proving the Obvious (get people on board with the method).
  2. Volume 2: The Scintillating Stuff (Paul, Acts, Clement, Ignatius, and all the other sexy suggestions that have been made here, and more).

I hadn't considered publishing books on stylometry alone. I was thinking of an omnibus of source criticism that included stylometric considerations.

The question as to whether material on Jeremiah could be by Clement of Alexandria may involve the contents of Clement's (largely lost) Hypotyposeis. According to some sources it covered both Old and New Testaments but the surviving fragments solidly attributed to this work are confined to the New Testament (and early church).

IF Clement's Hypotyposeis did cover the Old Testament, then the controversial fragment might well be by Clement.
