nonproportional
Lacking constant ratio
Nonproportional describes relationships where quantities don't change at the same rate or maintain a constant ratio.
In insurance, nonproportional coverage kicks in only after losses exceed a threshold, unlike proportional policies that share every loss.
In mathematics, nonproportional relationships lack the constant multiplier that defines proportional ones: The graph showed a nonproportional relationship between effort and results.
