The arrival

When the report actually reaches people.

The part

What it is

Measured rather than scheduled, since the scheduled date and the actual date diverge for anything with a manual step.

The variance matters too: a report that usually arrives on time and occasionally does not is planned around unreliably.

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.
