Magnitudes and Scaling for Measuring and Comparing Civilization transformation

There are not clear measures of Civilization transformation.

I believe that there can be measures and units devised to measure civilization transformation.

I think getting up to ten points for each aspect
breadth
scale of impact
speed of impact.

First the breadth of the transformation is needed.

This would look at the either the number of people and/or the percentage of the world population at the time that are effected.
However this needs to be looking at the magnitude (power of ten).

The scale would use the percentages for historical impacts like the switch from horses to bikes and bikes to cars.
It would also use future population projections for the expected impact of something that starts in ten years and is measured at after 20 more years.

Points      People      Percent of Total

10 7.2 billion 100%
9 720 million 10%
8 72 million 1%
7 7.2 million 0.1%
6 720,000 0.01%
5 72,000 0.001%
4 7,200 0.0001%
3 720 0.00001%
2 72 0.000001%
1 7 0.0000001%
