Did you consider referencing the 4e TL progression?

The TL progression is from their 3E edition, it anchors the tech progression from ADB's version of Trek, keeping it vastly simplifies how they advance tech that cover 200+ years of history.
Being a specific setting, instead of a generic one, such a setup makes sense. After all, if you were building a home brew Trek setting, wouldn't you want a better way to differentiate between the thirteen* different on screen USS
Enterprises than TL12^?
* Archers
Enterprise, Pike's
Enterprises, both from TOS, and
Discovery, the TOS
Enterprise, the Refitted movie
Enterprise, A, B, C, D, E, and J, plus the Tri-engined D, and the JJ-Trek
Enterprise.
