^ Yeah, Rating is determined by multiple factors. But it essentially works as a short-hand for how high-priority a target is, and their potential danger to society.

They look at things like the ghoul's raw strength, aggression towards Investigators, feeding habits, influence in ghoul and/or human society, group affiliations, and likely also whether V considers them a risk.

Kaneki's rating was purely on his strength, as he wasn't aggressive towards humans.

Rize, Torso, and Tsukiyama all got ratings based on their feeding habits.

Big Madam got it from being a major political player.
