What it is

Some failures bias the result in a known direction, which allows the finding to be read as an upper or lower bound.

Others invalidate it entirely, and knowing which is which is what makes the analysis usable under uncertainty.

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.
