Percentage of revenue seems like the least likely to be gamed metric.

This is also a problem since some businesses have very high nominal revenues and very low margins.

Two companies with $100M in revenue, one with 2% margin and one with 50% margin.

You’d fine then the same amount?

Progressive fines on people are based on their income, not how much they have left in the bank at the end of the month.

Sure, but expenses don’t vary a much for people versus companies.

You don’t meet many people who make $1M in a year who have unavoidable expenses of $900k.
