three-tier
Three levels high
Three-tier describes something organized into three distinct levels or layers.
The term appears most often in computing, where a three-tier architecture separates presentation, logic, and data storage into independent components.
Outside tech, it describes any system with three hierarchical levels: a three-tier pricing structure, three-tier wedding cake.
