When you require a defintion of us, you must give us a little context at least.

Here is one RAMP model:

An easy model that you can use to evaluate your business ideas you come up with. This is called the RAMP model.
Let’s start with the first letter, R, which stands for Return. Return really is return on investment.

R	Discuss Exit Strategy (acquisition or IPO)
R	Is it profitable? Will your revenues be higher than your expenses?
R	Time to breakeven (how long before cash flow positive? How long until the company begins to have an aggregate net income)
R	Investment Needed. How much money will it take to start-up this venture. Will it be $20,000, $200,000, or $2,000,000?

Now let’s look at A. A stands for advantages.

A	Look at cost structure (suppliers, what each element will cost to source or manufacture)
A	Barriers to entry (large competitors, regulations, patents, large capital requirements. If there are many barriers to entry, it will be difficult to enter a market. The higher the barriers to entry, the more disadvantaged you will be.
A	Intellectual Property. Do you have a proprietary advantage such as a patents or exclusive licenses on what you will be selling.
A	Distribution Channel. How will you be selling your product? Will you sell it direct to the consumer via the Internet, sell it to wholesales, sell it to businesses, or sell it to retail stores. If can develop a unique distribution channel this can surely be an advantage.

Now let’s look at M. M stands for Market.

M	The Need. Is there a big need for this product or service. Try to avoid ideas that sound cool but there is no real need for. Make sure your product or service fills and need or solves a problem.
M	Target market (who are you selling to? businesses? consumers? what demographics?)
M	Analyze target market (who are you selling to? businesses? consumers? what demographics?)
M	Pricing (what you they charge, what will be the price, will there be a high enough markup).
M	Analyze market size

Finally let’s look at P. P stands for potential.

P	Risk vs. Reward. How risky is the opportunity? If it is very risky, it there a chance for the business to do very well. Will there be a high reward for the founders and investors if the company succeeds?
P	The Team. Is the team right for the business. Do you have knowledge in this area.
P	Timing. Is the market ready for your product. You may have a great idea for flying cars, but if consumers are not ready for your product you may not be able to turn your idea into a successful business.
P	Goal Fit. Does the business concept fit the goals of the team to create a high potential or lifestyle business?

By using the RAMP model, you should be able to do a thorough job analyzing your business ideas and opportunities presented to you.

And here is another ramp model:
A key distribution center (KDC) of a network is a server enabling private communications within groups of users. The center provides the secret keys for encrypting and decrypting the messages. A distributed key distribution center (DKDC) is a set of servers that jointly realizes a KDC. In this paper we introduce a ramp model for unconditionally secure DKDC. In the ramp approach, the required resources (randomness, information storage, messages to be exchanged, etc.) can be reduced at the cost of a security degradation which depends on the size of the coalition of users who tries to break the scheme. We show lower bounds on the amount of information needed to setup and manage such a DKDC and describe a simple protocol meeting the bounds.

If you google the phrase, ramp model, you may find what you want.
