Introduction
Right now, we currently rate Chou Goku as a Super Saiyan God at 3-B based on the following scan:
Meanwhile, Jiren and everyone who scales to him (such as Ultra Instinct Goku) is rated at 3-A because he is stronger than Belmod, who scales to Beerus and Champa, who apparently would have destroyed Universe 7 in their fight, based on this scan:

Now, what is wrong with these ratings? Well...
Problem #1: Lack of Context
The scans we use to support the aforementioned ratings don't have a lot of context behind them. Everyone acknowledges that the first scan does not specify the timeframe over which Universe 7 would be destroyed by the fight between Goku and Beerus, but defaulting to a 3-B rating is not a good idea. What we actually see in the panels is the universe being shaken, not breaking down like it does in the anime, and even then, it's barely visible, so it logically could not have required more energy than what a 4-A character can put out.You might object and say "Well, Elder Kai said that at the rate they were going, the universe would be destroyed, so it couldn't possibly be a long time," but the thing is, these characters are way, way beyond the speed of light, so it isn't much of a stretch to claim that they could destroy Universe 7 over a short period of time by attacking each other really fast. Arguably, even Super Perfect Cell could have done so with the power and speed he has.
The second scan is somehow even less clear. All that Champa says is that he doesn't care about what happens to the universe he and Beerus are fighting in while they prepare their attacks, which doesn't necessarily indicate that they were going to destroy it all at once. I just don't see how people can get 3-A based on such a vague statement.
Speaking of statements...
Problem #2: Contradictions
Yeah, basically, the supposedly 3-B to 3-A stuff, if taken at face value, would contradict statements made much later on in the manga, which strongly imply that far stronger threats than the likes of Super Saiyan God Goku and even Beerus himself are only capable of busting single galaxies at most.Exhibit A: Fused Zamasu
Fused Zamasu, when backed into a corner by Goku and his completed Super Saiyan Blue form, who is stated to be an even match for him, charges up an attack that he claims will destroy the galaxy and kill Goku:https://cdn.***************.com/file/mangap/1069/10025000/21.jpg
On the very next page, when Trunks expresses concern over Zamasu's power, Vegeta informs him that Zamasu is low on stamina and that releasing an attack so powerful would carry drastic consequences, even if he is immortal:

Basically, it's made clear by these two scans that Fused Zamasu, someone who is objectively leagues beyond the Goku that did the alleged feat, is only capable of blowing up one galaxy at best, as well as that Goku probably cannot survive such an attack.
Exhibit B: Moro
We have confirmation from Whis that Moro, who at this point has copied Merus' strength and bound himself to the Earth, will eventually explode, releasing all of his energy and taking the entire galaxy out with him:https://cdn.***************.com/file/AnimeRleases/DBS_65_045.jpg
Now, it should go without saying that Moro at this point is stronger than Beerus, due to having the power of a trainee angel and matching Ultra Instinct Goku, who previously contended with the likes of Jiren, who in turn is stated to be more powerful than a God of Destruction. This definitely puts him above Belmod, and should put him above the likes of Beerus as well, since he holds the same position. Yet, despite obviously being more powerful than someone who can apparently destroy an entire universe with ease, he doesn't seem to be capable of destroying more than one galaxy, either.
Other Stuff
- Post-healing Goku Black should not scale to Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta. Both Goku and Vegeta make it a point that neither of them can sustain the full power of Super Saiyan Blue for long, and this is even the entire point behind Vegeta later learning to conserve that power by mainly using Super Saiyan God, then quickly activating Super Saiyan Blue when he attacks.
- Completed Super Saiyan Blue should not be separated from regular Super Saiyan Blue for indexing purposes. It's explicitly a perfection of Super Saiyan Blue that enables the user to fight with its full power at all times. Nothing suggests that it's magically more powerful than Super Saiyan Blue altogether.
Conclusion
- Super Saiyan God Goku and anyone that scales to him should be downgraded from 3-B to 4-A.
- Super Saiyan Blue Goku and anyone that scales to him should be downgraded from 3-B to 3-C. Also, Completed Super Saiyan Blue shouldn't be listed as higher.
- Ultra Instinct Goku, the Gods of Destruction, and anyone that scales to them should be downgraded from 3-A to 3-C.
- Post-healing Goku Black should be downgraded from 3-B to 4-B.
