The sequence

The stages of the build, each with real work attached.

The part

What it is

Early stages should be low-consequence and real. Practice on work that matters slightly is what produces capability; practice on invented work does not.

Each stage should end with something demonstrable, because a build with no visible progress is cancelled during the first cost review.

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.
