Capsize ration is simplistic and not very efficatious.

Jeff H. is absolutely right. This formula does not take into account hull form or center or mass of center of effort. Mathematically it is a complete waste of time to screw with.

One could write a formula that would give good ideas about stability, but one would have to input discriptive formulas for hull lines which would be very difficult to obtain or calculate.
