The choice

What is actually being decided.

The part

What it is

Stated as options rather than as a topic. “Whether to continue investing in this channel” is a decision; “channel performance” is a subject.

Where the options are not yet known, defining them is the first piece of work rather than the analysis.

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.
