Thanks for your fast response and apologies for this late reply!
These examples will be following the ‘EFTPOS’ route. I hope people can still follow the scope with the sitemap in my first post.

1) the current state. This is what the Products page is populated with right now. These are the ‘Product Group Outer’ custom post types. Purely from looping the custom post type of ‘product-group-outer’.

The following are the goals:

2) This is meant to be an instance of ‘Category Outer’. As you can see “EFTPOS Paper, Wetcovers, stands and EFTPOS consumables” is meant to list an end-level Product. But the rest are another step in category for ‘Category Inner’ (shown next).

3) This is the last category for EFTPOS -> Integrated, and the deepest that the product logic can actually go. “EFTPOS Short Term Hire” also reaches this depth, but Mobile/Wifi and Dialup/Broadband do not, they list end-level products.

4) And this is the end-level product for EFTPOS -> Integrated -> Direct USB/cable. Imagine the breadcrumbs are there too. Other end-level product pages will look like this too – showing actual products.

My problem is getting a grasp on how to continue with 2), 3) and 4)
And not knowing if it’s even possible with this particular use of CPT and ACF.
