Remarks
Hierarchy finding is typically the same as finding the separate connected sub-graphs in a graph structure, which can be done in various ways: in a non-directed graph it's easy with a DFS based algorithm, however in directed graphs it's much harder and one would require the transitive closure and use that to find the different hierarchies.
