The frequency

How often each control is tested, weighted by consequence.

The part

What it is

High-consequence controls tested every cycle; the remainder on a rotation of a year or more.

The weighting should be visible, so that a control tested rarely is tested rarely by decision.

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.
