There is absolutely no system like this, but as you move up the games (in general) get harder, so a 100nl reg will basically always be better than a 10nl reg, for example.
As a very (very!) loose rule of thumb, success at 200nl online, 109 mtts, or 5/T live nl tend to be the barometer for somewhat successful pro players. Obviously, winning players at those levels are within the top 5% of the playerbase. Being a winning player at 25nl, 2/5 live, or lowstakes online mtts already puts you in the top quartile for sure. These are some really loose guidelines, but hope it helps a bit.
In terms of advancement, that really depends. Knowing some players who started seriously playing during covid, basically everyone takes at least a year of dedicated effort (1000+ hrs) to become a strong player, with 2-3 years of work being quite common. And these are people who talk a lot of poker, consume training content, play a lot, and review their hands often. I think someone can learn to be a lowstakes winner in a few months, but to reach any sort of mid-high level is a multi-year endeavor for basically everyone.
