Unlike taxes/benefits, I don’t think you could scale regulations linearly - at some point there has to be a cliff. I wonder if a solution could be a time-offset cliff. I.e. regulations apply five years after hitting a revenue threshold, at which point you either grow past the cliff or fall under it.

The recommendations become a guide to making a consumer friendly business. Let the business decide if they want to implement recommendations to reach a broader market. Some requirements, that protect the commons, are necessary. Things like "you can't dump gasoline in a river". Requirements necessitate enforcement which costs the citizens money and compliance which costs businesses money. Money that could be put back into the economy instead of evaporating in the government machine.
