The reading
The utilisation figure itself, with the period it covers.
The part
What it is
A single reading means little. The value comes from a series, which requires the definition to hold still between readings.
Averages hide patterns: an asset at fifty per cent utilisation might be at full capacity for half the week and idle for the rest.
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.
Pattern
Even, peaked or intermittent — a peaked asset at fifty per cent is fully used half the time.
