A military-grade level of planning, organization and precision normally reserved for special operations missions and political coups.
I was worried about starving to death on my trip to the Amazon. Luckily, the Kaitlin Factor prevailed.

A scale factor is a number which scales, or multiplies, some quantity. In the equation y = Cx, C is the scale factor for x. C is also the coefficient of x, and may be called the constant of proportionality of y to x. For example, doubling distances corresponds to a scale factor of two for distance, while cutting a cake in half results in pieces with a scale factor of one half. The basic equation for it is image over primeage. In the field of measurements, the scale factor of an instrument is sometimes referred to as sensitivity. The ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures is also called a scale factor.

When a company expands quicker than the directors or shareholders can keep up with employees, eventually it explodes like a balloon.
Chris and Pete promised consumer's their investments would be delivered in a set time frame. When that failed, Chris and Pete promised new and better products which sucked further outside investors in. Eventually unable to deliver any products, the company folded....that is the "balloon factor"

The impossibility of teaching someone something because of his or her dogged reluctance to avoid being taught. It arises through the
deliberate choice of that person to continue to remain ignorant. In some cases the person may be too proud to admit that a different, better method exists of doing something.

Example 1.
Lemuel was repeatedly having the same, easily-fixable problem with his computer and Mike was always the one to help him sort it out. When I suggested that Mike show Lemuel how to do it himself he said "Oh I offered to do that but it's the Frits Factor. He insists I do it for him, every time."
Example 2.
I went fishing with Jock. He kept losing his strikes because his method of attaching the hook was flawed and ineffectual. I offered to
help and patiently showed him how to tie a good knot but strangely, his results did not improve. The Frits Factor was at play. I noticed later he
was still baiting up his way.

W-Factor is when someone has trouble pronouncing words that have the letter W in them or pronouncing words that do not have the letter W in them as having the W sound. Mostly they pronounce R as W.

The clench factor. Fear factor. You tense up your entire body beginning with your ass. Usually on a scale from one to ten.
Getting ran cut off, ran off the road, sideswiped and flipped upside dow. Various degrees of the pucker factor there.
