12 hrs confidence:
degree of consolidation Explanation: Hi ghoston! A "glossaire" check on "palier" reveals that the most common meaning is "level", often of a heirarchic kind (as in local governments, quantities of material, and other tangible things). From your text, this seems to be the level at which consolidation takes place; however, in temporal terms, you have chosen to call this "stage" or "step", probably with reference to the process, and you seem to be on the right track. However, this seems to lose the sense of heirarchy. The above is from the Oxford Thesaurus suggestion on "step". Websearch + Thesaurus |
