Speaking of Scaling, can the suggestions I put in these two comments be discussed/added to the OP?
And
If the Calc's been accepted, we can go ahead and discuss who it would actually scale to.
Inaba was stated to be 2x-3x weaker then Ohma, in terms of raw power. I'm going to assume 2x would be a good option to lowball here.
So Ohma= At least 2x the calc value.
Ohma didn't grow in (Physical) strength, from BOS to Round 1, so all of his previous opponents should scale.
Kaburagi Koji (Medicine Man) Somewhat downscales. While clearly weaker than Ohma, he was capable of damaging him.
Lihito was capable of matching Ohma in power, even implying he was physically stronger than him, in raw strength
Lihito and Sawada are shown to be comparable with eachother.
Unconditioned Hatsumi was able to fight against an injured Advance Ohma. (Peak Hatsumi would still be high tier, as usual)
Chiba was able to draw blood from Hatsumi with a glancing blow.
Bando was stated to be capable of one-shotting Hatsumi with a single Arm Whip, and could take multiple hits from him. It's debatable of Bando scales higher, as he did force Hatsumi into Peak Condition after his fight.
Hanafusa, while significantly weaker than Bando, was still capable of harming him with his bone blades and his other body modifications.
These are characters that could reasonably scale, if we don't scale them to anything higher. Though there are likely others I've missed.
And
Alright, so I'm going to go ahead and add what characters scale to Karo's 9-A+ value.
Karo: His Whale Burial technique yields this much energy.
Saw Paing: Can endure a direct Whale Burial to the chest and continue fighting.
Rei: While physically weaker than Karo, he was still able to somewhat damage Saw Paing.
Nezu (?): His kick was described as "heavy" by Rei, implying he thought it was powerful. Though he was one-shotted, it is important to note that His lapse of composure made him unable to use his full strength.
Adam: Directly stated to have comparable trunk muscles (and thus comparable striking strength) to Karo.
R1 Cosmo: While significantly weaker, He was acknowledged by Adam to be strong, and could visibly stagger him with his blows.
Other notes on scaling.
8-A
I would suggest that the "Low 7-C" rating for HIGH tiers should be removed. As stated previously, I disagree with the notion that other fighters would scale to Kiozan's Raging Vigor.
Nikado Ren (Not mentioned in the OP) should scale to 8-A: He was confident in his ability to kill Meguro, with Julius even assuming he was enough to restrain him.
OTHER
Kaneda and Himuro don't really have any solid scaling to the 8-A or 9-A calculations in Asura, at least to my knowledge. Because of this, it might simply be prudent to just rate them as 9-B, via Himuro being capable of tanking out several Guardians while injured.
