Lawsuit Ratio

Similar to common Accounting Ratios used in Financial Analysis, the Lawsuit Ratio allows for a sufficient evaluation of a decision based on legal risk related to gains. It can be evaluated in a qualitative or quantitative way, and is calculated by using the formula:

Lawsuit Ratio (LR) = Chances of Lawsuit / Potential Gains

-or-

Lawsuit Ratio (LR) = Current or future lawsuit projected Net Loss based on x decision / Current Revenue of x (or projected)

As LR approaches ZERO, the scenario becomes more favorable.
a. Because Jeff Bezos is an aggressive egg head and uses data for bad things, he had to settle out of court with William Sonoma.

Lawsuit ratio of Jeff Bezos selling identical products to William Sonoma = $25M Settlement / 1% of yearly revenue from those products

Astronomical Lawsuit Ratio!

b. If Bezos made a rocket to space that had ZERO negative effects on environment / ethics / or public opinion AND it was guaranteed that the net revenue per year of operation would be +$120B, then Lawsuit Ratio would be great :).

Lawsuit Ratio = Zero chance of lawsuit / $120B earnings

LR = 0 :)

Aquacorporeal Ratio

The quantitative measure expressing the relationship between the volume of water in a specific environment and the number of human bodies or remnants thereof present within that same locale. This ratio is typically invoked to assess the psychological acceptability or aversion to swimming or engaging in recreational activities in bodies of water where human remains are known or presumed to be present.

A conceptual metric used to gauge the threshold at which human presence, in the form of living individuals or deceased bodies, in a water body shifts from being imperceptible or negligible to becoming a significant factor influencing human behavior, particularly in the context of recreational water activities.
If you think about the aquacorporeal ratio, you'd probably be okay swimming in the ocean even though there are shipwrecks and stuff, but a single body in a pool would totally freak you out.

Man, Jimmy is such an idiot! He picked the skinny twenty year old hooker when he had a chance to pick up that Granny Gorlock at the end of the street! He didn't pay attention to the Skin to Buck Ratio (SBR).
