You can roughly measure genius by looking at the (domain-relative) complexity of toolchain a person needs to have impact of a given scale

Ramanujan is good comp for me. He needed notebooks, a textbook and paper mail --1/100th complexity say -- to achieve (say) 10,000x by age 32

So by this notional math, and factoring in toolchain complexity, he would weigh in at at least million times more genius. I'd be 1 μR.
