The success picture

What good looks like at the end of the first year, written before hiring.

The part

What it is

Written afterwards, the success picture is shaped around whoever was appointed. Written first, it is a description of the job.

It is also the fairest thing to give a candidate, and the most useful thing to give a new starter in their first week.

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.
