The method

What was actually done to test the control.

The part

What it is

Inspection of evidence, re-performance, observation or enquiry. They differ substantially in strength, and enquiry alone is the weakest.

Re-performance — doing the control again and comparing — is the strongest and is rarely used because it takes longer.

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.
