* In Australia, bushfire danger ratings were Mild, Moderate, High, Very High, and Extreme. Following the 2009 Victorian Bushfires, a new category of "Catastrophic - Code Red" was added. But then it went in the opposite direction in 2022, with the ranks being bumped down to just Moderate, High, Extreme and Catastrophic. The most current danger ratings can be found [[https://afdrs.com.au/ here]].

* Having a record certified "gold" by the RIAA was probably a big deal once upon a time; it meant selling half a million copies if it's an album or a million if it's a single. "Platinum" was only introduced as a separate certification in 1976 for records that sold twice those amounts, followed by "multi-platinum" in 1984 for twice as many again. Ironically, due to decreasing sales of singles, the requirements for having a single cirtified any of those things actually went down, and now match the figures for albums: half a million, a million, two million. The continued explosive growth of the music industry prompted them to add a "diamond" cirtification in 1999 for records that hit five million, which had already been surpassed several times. Because there's no time limit to how long it takes to reach those total sales (unlike with Billboard charts), timeless artists whose albums remain in print long enough tend to hit ''bonkers'' numbers even on that scale, with Music/MichaelJackson's ''Thriller'' holding the current record for a studio album at ''34x platinum.''

* ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'' joked about this in its first chronological episode, when Taniguchi ranked every Freshman girl from D to A. His favorite (Asakura Ryoko) was ranked AA+.
* ''Literature/TheHeroIsOverpoweredButOverlyCautious'': All worlds that need to be saved are ranked by letters to denote the difficulty of the task. It's also possible for the [[RankUp difficulty rank to increase]] if the Demon Lord of that world successfully conquers it.

* During a trip to an amusement park, Shana of ''Literature/ShakuganNoShana'' uses her powers to cheat at a swordfighting virtual reality game, maxing out the score counter and earning a rank of SSS.
* ''Literature/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime'': This happened thrice-over with the classification system in the backstory. Originally, it was simply ranked as "Novice < Beginner < Intermediate < Advanced System"; but "Advanced System" was deemed too vague and so it was reorganized as "F < E < D < C < B < A" where Advanced System was split into C, B, and A class. Then people realized that still wasn't good enough and added in "A < Special A < S < Special S" to better separate the ''real'' monsters while giving these ratings the special monikers of "Hazard", "Calamity", "Disaster", and "Catastrophe" respectively, further adding "-" and "+" modifiers to all the tiers for even better classification. "Special S+" class can basically be summed up as "could break the planet like an egg if they go on a temper tantrum".
