tl;dr nothing in life matters anymore and I do what I want.
So we currently have a Cookie Clicker profile. I won't call it ass but it is... lacking. It never goes into detail, it's missing lots of abilities, its tier only takes the absolute highest end instead of each specific weapon/technology, and its current reasoning mixes several different things at once, with each of these being different tiers in actuality.
So I made a new one! Complete with 29 different tiers, tons of tabbers and abilities, and other fun things. Now I won't explain here literally everything I added and changed because this is an ungodly amount of things. However, I will explain the big tiershit involved here, as well as the cosmology, since I believe that will be the most important and controversial part.
So yeah tiershit time.
The Basic Uni/Multiverse
So not a lot here. This upgrade states the universe is spatially infinite and showcases it to be the case with the Bakery straight-up building infinite restaurants along the infinite universe. We also know that time is infinite and can be divided infinitely as well. So individual universes are High 3-A spatially and Low 2-C with time as well.
There are many parallel dimensions alongside the main universe, shown by the portal upgrade. Note that these dimensions are explicitly different from the "Idleverses" shown later and are indeed part of Idleverses. The game itself isn't clear if the term "Cookieverse" refers to the local multiverse or just one specific alternate dimension, but I'll use it to refer to the local multiverse from now on (mostly due to Nested, which I'll talk about later). The number of dimensions inside the Cookieverse isn't clear. One statement implies there are only around 50, but that is contradicted in some ways. Such as how Sugar Lumps allow an arbitrarily high number of dimensions to be enslaved through Portals, including way higher than 50. Similarly, "Nested" has arguments for there being an infinite amount of universes (shown later). So the number of alternate dimensions in the Cookieverse is either above 50 or infinite. It doesn't really matter for our current tiers though.
So the basic Multiverse is made out of 50, possibly up to infinite universes. Each universe is infinite spatially and temporally.
Infraverses and Superverses
On top of the above, there are universes in each particle of the universe. There are not one, but two separate hierarchies of this, which somehow stack with each other. As the universe is supposedly the same as the main one, and due the general concept of fractals (and of other Fractal Engines upgrades in the game), this likely goes infinitely down. So you have infinite universes embedded as part of a finite portion of another universe. Therefore, each universe jump is infinitely greater than the other, and thus viable for higher tiers. Those lower universes would range from 11-A to 11-C. However, the truly important part is that universes might exist above the baseline one.
For one, we have the Infraverses and Superverses upgrade, which deals with "universes within universes" and which names "Superverses" separately from "Infraverses", implying that universes superior to the main one exist. But the more important part is the Nested game. One of the Fractal Engine upgrades directly links to the website of Nested, a game made by the creator of Cookie Clicker, hosted on the same website as Cookie Clicker and which makes explicit references to it. As well, it obviously parallels the established CC cosmology, via having universes inside of each particle. So I'll be using its content as proof of the Cookie Cosmology.
In Nested, each particle contains a 'qwubble'. Each qwubble contains a set of 1 to 4 "-verse" structures. These vary in names, but they can include "Cookieverse", a structure we already established as being part of the Cookie Clicker cosmology. Each "-verse" structure contains a set of universes. This set is shown to be only a couple at first, but accessing Black Holes reveals other parallel universes from the initial set. This can be done infinitely, indicating that each "-verse" has infinite universes within it. And of course, accessing particles within this nested universe reveals another 'qwubble', and another set of "-verse". As both of these endless loops can be repeated endlessly in gameplay and are randomly generated each time you open the game, these are likely infinite in all directions. And as the "Cookieverse" can be found at any depth, this indicates that the verse has an infinite 11-C and High 1-B cosmology.
Idleverses
Idleverses are a set of parallel realities. As this upgrade reveals to us all at once, all of those realities are spaces existing in parallel with each other and are focused entirely on producing one object. Essentially, they're all Idle Games. Each Idleverse is not a single universe too, but rather a collection of all related realities (such as the Cookieverse). And all of them exist in "Milk", which surrounds all realities. It is known that there is an infinite amount of them.
But more importantly, I also believe that Idleverses contains all Superverses mentioned above. We already know that Idleverses contains sub-dimensions like the Cookieverse alongside the main universe. But this likely applies to Superverses. This description of Idleverses describes them as being "Layers upon layers" filled with small holes. This likely implies that Idleverses are layered and thus that Superverses are part of them. But on a more general level, the opposite makes no sense. Like I showcased above, the general description of the cosmology of the verse makes no mention of Superverses as being a major part of the world beyond the subordinate dimensions. And them being Idleverses inside other Idleverses doesn't really make sense either, as Idleverses are described as being parallel to each other and thus wouldn't be naturally found nested in each other. Given all this, I think Idleverses containing the Superverses Nested Cosmology above is the option that makes the most sense.
With that in mind, we know that Idleverses are realities which hold and thus are bigger than High 1-B structures. And by the big cosmos statement I linked above, the definition of "reality" can change depending on each Idleverse. Meaning that the internal content of an Idleverse is of no relevance to the structure itself. Combined with their status as essentially being the very Game a reality exists in, they should be Low 1-A.
The Real World
Yes, the Real World exists as part of the Cookie Clicker lore. We know the CC world works on "transcendental programming", and the Bakery can control the very code of the game the world is in. And if there is any doubt about whether the Real World exists as a physical place or not, a late-game upgrade straight up has the Bakery invade the Real World and loot it. So like, yeah. The Real World sees all infinite Idleverses as fiction and thus should be 1-A.
Now there is the "Break the Fifth Wall" upgrade. It involves the Bakery breaking the "fifth wall" and looting the world behind it. Given the context above, I interpreted it as another real-er world above the Real World wich the Bakery has now access to, especially since this upgrade is one of the last one obtained. It's debatable if it should be applied or not but eh, I decided to include it. It doesn't matter too much.
Heaven
And finally, Heaven. The place is accessed after an Ascension. It is heavily implied to be a transcendental place. Cookies sent to Heaven are described to be "on a higher plane of being", the upgrades associated with it are described as transcendent, it is implied to be the place where space-time is meaningless, and cookies from there are stated to have a flavor which transcends space-time. And this is all further proven by how it works in gameplay. Ascending completely resets all progress in the entire game, including literally everything I've mentioned above. Yet Heaven itself is unaffected, being a constant across all canon events of the game.
As such, all events involving Heaven should be 1-A. Including Ascension and stuff, although the Bakery lacks direct control over Heaven, unlike other things.
Other stuff
So everything above explained what I already have on the Sandbox. But there are some more doubtful or last-minute stuff I wanna discuss here.
Conclusion
The Bakery gets entirely reworked almost from scratch, as well as updated to 1-A for the highest ends of technology.
I additionally have two potential upgrades for slightly higher 1-A and High 1-A for Heaven, as well.

Other stuff
So everything above explained what I already have on the Sandbox. But there are some more doubtful or last-minute stuff I wanna discuss here.
So basically I think Idleverses should be straight up 1-A. The Game Design upgrades implies the JavaScript code is inherently part of an Idleverse instead of being sorta separate from it. And in general this makes sense, as the Idleverses technologies are considered better than the JavaScripts. So it likely implies that the Code of each game is limited to an Idleverse instead of being across all of reality. With this, the Idleverse would fit the notion of being a background transcendental force to a High 1-B Hierarchy, entirely defining and transcending it. As such, an Idleverse would be 1-A, and so would Milk. The Real World, Fifth Wall World, and Heaven would simply be higher levels of 1-A.
The other, much spicier thing is Heaven's case for being High 1-A. Right now it simply vaguely transcends the real world and everything else. But it could be argued to be entirely beyond the verse, including any potential extension of it, similarly to how an Idleverse would transcend the Superverse hierarchy. My argument about this relies mostly on the Cortex Bakers.
It is established that Cortex Bakers can manifest their thoughts into existence. And this ability is described as potent enough to completely ignore space and time and make reality arbitrary. And as the Cortex Bakers are the last building obtained, their scope should be beyond the basic abilities of all previous buildings (such as the JavaScript Console and Idleverses). But more importantly, the second-to-last upgrade in the entire game (so far) involves the Cortex Bakers collectively having permutated through every single thought possible. These beings capable of rendering reality irrelevant though their thoughts have conceptualized every single idea that can be thought of. As this is literally the second-to-last upgrade, this should include everything the Bakery can do (sans Heaven stuff).
Despite all of this, Heaven is still beyond them. As I've proven before, Heaven is beyond anything the Bakery does and transcends all of reality. The Cortex Bakers and all they've done can be entirely reset by a single Ascension. As a result, it is fair to say that Heaven is beyond the reality-warping potential of beings who have processed every thinkable thought ever, in a verse already having 1-A layers. And so, Heaven should probably be assumed to be beyond any extensions of 1-A. And thus be High 1-A.
It is a rather vague and whacky interpretation, but I think a "possibly High 1-A" could work, at the very least.
