Rank Up: a series started by ThePedallingPianist and bellal exploring the full rank constraint within 5x5 grids...

Latin Square: Within the main grid (inside the thick border), fill every cell with a digit from 1-5 such that digits do not repeat in a row or column.
Full Rank: A value in an external cell represents the rank of the number formed by reading the digits in that row or column from that direction, where (1) is the lowest such row or column and (20) is the highest.
N.B. If two ranks are tied, the value in both external cells is the lower of the two ranks being shared. For example, if the lowest four ranks are "13425", "14523", "14523" and "21354", the values in the relevant external cells would be (1), (2), (2) and (4) respectively.
Equal pressure cages: the sum of values within a cage equals the sum of values in cells outside the cage which share an edge with the inside cells.

Impressive lack of clues needed. I'm not clever enough to do the later parts cleverly, but I was able to get through it all somehow. Thanks for the puzzle!
