The initial view

How likely the ambition seemed when it was set.

The part

What it is

A useful range sits well short of certainty — enough that failure is genuinely possible and success is genuinely imaginable.

Recording the spread across the group matters as much as the average, because a split view is a different situation from a shared one.

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.
