But Better: Simplify Dominance as a Clear Ratio

In competitive spaces—whether in business, sports, or personal growth—dominance often feels complex and hard to measure. But “But Better” offers a smarter way to understand superiority: not through vague claims, but through a clear, simplified ratio.

Instead of saying “We’re better than them,” reframe dominance as a simple numerical ratio: D / L = X, where

  • D = your actual strength, performance, or value
  • L = your closest competitor’s or opponent’s strength
  • X = your dominance ratio

Understanding the Context

For example, if your score is 90 and your strongest rival scores 60, your dominance ratio is 1.5:1—meaning you dominate 50% more effectively than them. If your score is 70 and the rival is 100, your ratio is 0.7:1, indicating a narrow margin or even vulnerability.

Using a ratio like D : L = 2 : 1 immediately communicates superiority with precision. It cuts through noise, transforms subjective claims into objective data, and clearly signals your position in the hierarchy.

In short, “But Better” isn’t just a phrase—it’s a hierarchy in numbers. When you bottle dominance in a ratio, you stop arguing and start proving.
