Assigning a description to Linux 1, 5, 15 load values.

I have this TUI I am working on and I want it to contain a "human" description of the current system load for less technical users. I tried to find if there was someone that already did this but cannot seem to find anything that builds a sort of truth table to the 1, 5, 15 minute load values. This is what I have come up with, looking for input (or downvote this if in the wrong place / already invented).

Load Value 1 5 15 Load Description
Value compared to CPU Cores > > > High Load
> > < Rising
> < < Spike
< > > High Recovering
< > < High Cycling
< < < Ideal
<1 <1 <1 Idle
