The capability basis

What the organisation is actually able to do that makes the promise keepable.

The part

What it is

A promise resting on a capability the organisation does not have is an ambition with a deadline attached to somebody else.

Naming the capability also identifies what must be protected: losing it means losing the promise.

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.

Reference shared type
Confidence
How confident the organisation is that the capability actually supports it.
Confidence shared type
Held or being built
Whether the capability exists now or is a commitment made ahead of it.
