Yes awesome! What you can do to increase reader accessability is to slow down and explicitly, in words describe on the schöntrup index what zero means. If the scale has some ultimate top-point like 100, describe what this means. If no ultimate top-point, explain what this means. Then readers will understand your scale.

Who in economics can you send this to? How about Richard Wolff and his democracy collective? Maybe Michael Hudson would comment favorably too.
