The accumulated

What has been built up in the current narrative.

The part

What it is

Years of repetition, the share of the market that knows the story, and the associations that have attached to it.

Measured roughly from the perception work, which already holds most of the inputs.

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.
