The avoided
Tones, formats and behaviours the brand does not use.
The part
What it is
Specific rather than general: not “we avoid hype” but the particular constructions, claims and formats that are ruled out.
Examples make it enforceable. A named format everyone recognises does more than a category.
The smallest level
