So we're off topic of the architecture of this case.
Note the change in the subject line to stop recording in the

        IMO, that's a second order tricky.  IMO, the first order
        tricky is defining A, B and C such that given some component,
        it get's categorized into A, B or C (presuming that they are
        disjoint, which I don't believe they can be).
