The prompt

What caused each change.

The part

What it is

A change in what the organisation does, a change in who it serves, an acquisition, or a new leader with a different account of things.

Recording the last honestly is what makes the record useful rather than a set of rationalisations.

The smallest level

The attributes it carries

Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.
