The decision maker

Who made the call, and at what level.

The part

What it is

A value upheld only by the founder is a founder’s preference. One upheld by someone junior, without asking, is an organisational value.

Recording the level is what shows whether the value has actually spread.

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.
