The decision

The route chosen, by whom, and against what horizon.

The part

What it is

Recording the horizon is what makes the decision reviewable. A route chosen for a three-year need is wrong for a ten-year one, and the difference is only visible if it was stated.

Where the decision went against the costing, that reasoning is the most valuable part of the record.

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.
