I don't work on networking but I'll be adopting this from now on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layer_8

Layer 0 is design.

Layer 8 is policy.

Layer 9 is user.

No, user and (derivatives of) have always unofficially, jokingly been layer 8. Also higher layers would refer to design issues (budget/politics/design - 9/10), not layer 0.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’ve always referred to my designs as layer 0, everything is built upon them.
