tier count
also called number of tiers
How many cascade tiers a chocolate fountain's molten chocolate falls over, as a numeral with the tier count-unit (e.g. 3 tiers, 4 tiers, 5 tiers) — the definitional STRUCTURAL feature that makes it a fountain rather than a warming basin ('N-Tier Chocolate Fountain' is on every box). It is NOT the serving-size spec: serving capacity tracks the chocolate charge (chocolate_capacity), not the tier count — the Sephra CF44RC convertible runs as a 3-tier or a 5-tier on one machine at the same ~10 kg / 200-guest rating. Required: every fountain has a tier count. Homes on ChocolateFountain. Reuses TierCountUnits.
Tier count is a count — a whole number of tiers.
It belongs to measurement — its measurable, physical facts.
