Hi community in this [doc page](https://docs.communityhealthtoolkit.org/building/guides/performance/replication/) the proposed hierarchy is:

> district \> health\_center \> clinic \> **area** \> family \> patient

However, in the sample table, as we go deeper, with greaters values of depth, we never get the “area” level, so I think that the correct hierarchy for the sample table should be:  
`district > health_center > clinic > family > patient`

this is, without the area level.

Well spotted @bamatic! I agree that this just looks like a typo (but a very confusing one for anyone trying to closely follow what is going on in these docs).

Could you perhaps open a PR out on the [docs repo](https://github.com/medic/cht-docs/blob/66f504eef0db80efb96e06d70dfed5e1c79caa03/content/en/building/guides/performance/replication.md?plain=1#L53) to fix this and add me as a reviewer? 🙏
