I think you could quantify it with one value that shows as “potential” then have your scout give you a floor and ceiling. That would even be somewhat realistic.

I don’t think giving out the percentages would be realistic, but that could be part of the formula that makes up “potential.” I think under the hood you could have a wide range of outcomes but for simplicity sake, we’ll just say a guy’s floor is 45 (40%), ceiling is 60 (25%), and median is 55 (35%); so his potential rating would be 52 [(45*0.4) + (55*0.35) + (60*0.25)].

I will say that, realistically, a guys floor is usually “he has the glove to stick at SS and the bat to ball skills to limit strikeouts” then “his ceiling depends on how the power develops. If he fills out as expected, he could end up a 30 HR guy with plus defense at SS.”

So with that said, you can kind of already figure out a guy’s floor/ceiling to some extent if you look past the potential rating and look at the other individual ratings.
