The stated expectation

What the stakeholder said, recorded in their wording.

The part

What it is

Paraphrasing loses the part that matters. A stakeholder who says “we need to hear about problems early” has said something different from “improve communication”.

Where the expectation is inferred rather than stated, that should be marked as such rather than blended in.

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.
