The suppliers

Each supplier, with what they provide and how much of it.

The part

What it is

Share of input is what reveals concentration, and it is the field most often absent because it requires aggregating across purchase orders.

Suppliers providing something critical in small volume deserve the same attention as large ones, which a spend-ranked list will not give them.

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.
