I haven't read the entire thread, and I know I'm late to the discussion.
It shouldn't be black and white. For example, if character A pushes to their absolute limit to lift an object that's 5 kg away from baseline Class 5 and character B effortlessly overpowers them, I'd say there's more than a reasonable enough case for upscaling B to Class 5. If character B is just vaguely stronger, then I'd say we rate them 'Class 1, possibly Class 5'.
This is the reason why Frieza is Small Star level+, despite falling short of that rating by ~7%, as Goku is far superior to a feat First Form Frieza performed with relatively little effort. However, scaling someone like Frieza to something like Star level is another matter, as there's no concrete numbers to support Goku being almost twice the strength of First Form Frieza, despite the massive amount of evidence in its favour.
Basically, it should be case-by-case. All or none just seems illogical here, and it seems everyone agrees currently.
The main purpose of this forum is to discuss how to properly index the statistics of characters from a wide variety of different fictional franchises.
