Actually having seen the weapon list, there does seem to be a fairly clear rhyme or reason to it. Weapons in a particular category and size (ie one handed martial) seem to have a base damage dice and one special ability. That special ability can be +1 more to prof, 1 hiigher damage die, or something like high crit. versatile doesn't "cost" anything.
So one handed weapons have a base of d8. An actual one handed weapon can be +3 prof, d8 damage (longsword), +2 prof, d10 damage (battleaxe) or +2 prof d8 damage and high crit (scimitar).
