How it's used
Often used in professional or organizational contexts to describe the structure of authority or status. While it refers to levels, it carries a more formal tone than simply using 級別 or 階級. It is frequently employed when discussing corporate management or academic systems.

Avoid using this word for physical levels of a building, where 層 or 樓層 is the correct choice. It is strictly for abstract or social hierarchies rather than literal floors.
