The candidates

Each proposed competence, phrased as something the organisation can do.

The part

What it is

Phrasing as an ability rather than a noun forces the distinction from resources. “Distribution network” is an asset; “can open a new region in ninety days” is a competence.

Where a candidate cannot be phrased as an ability, it usually belongs in the asset register instead.

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.
