Outcomes

What was recorded at each gate, and what it changed.

The part

What it is

The record is what makes it possible to tell later whether the gate is doing anything. If nothing was ever altered by it, the test is ceremonial.

It is also the input to the annual review, which is where a decaying gate gets caught.

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.
