unscaled

Lacking proportional adjustment

Unscaled describes something that hasn't been adjusted for scale or proportion.

In data visualization and statistics, unscaled values retain their original magnitudes rather than being normalized for comparison: The unscaled graph made the differences look more dramatic than they were.

In another sense, unscaled means not climbed—a mountain or wall that remains unconquered: The north face remained unscaled until 1954.
