Hi Jason, great question! You and/or potential donors and/or potential grantees can look at the marginal grants writeup[1]that Kieran and Neil put together last December. I don’t think the bar has changed significantly in the last 6 months, though any AWF fund manager is free to correct me.
To answer your exact question, I don’t have a quantitative sense of how much better the highlighted grants are, compared to the marginal grants. I don’t think it’s strictly necessary here to have a cardinal ranking, because (as you’ve identified) exactly where the marginal grants are matters noticeably more than the number of times the best grants are better than the marginal ones.

(click through to the link, the headline is for a fundraising post but the section I linked detailed marginal grants).
