I get what you mean, but its adding a useless complexity layer.

If the thing always is smaller than, for example, a kilogram, just use the next measurement unit, a gram. 100g, 200g, 500g, etc.

It’s true the other way around, if the thing is always bigger than, for example, a kilogram, use it as is. 1kg, 1.5kg, 4kg, 6.2kg.

For ease of comparison, always use the most significant unit.
