The dependencies
What else relies on the tool, including things nobody documented.
The part
What it is
Tools accumulate dependents quietly: a report someone built, an integration to a partner, an automated email nobody remembers setting up.
Switching off before finding these produces the failures that make organisations reluctant to retire anything.
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.
