The values

The commitments themselves, in their agreed wording.

The part

What it is

Written as something the organisation does or refuses rather than as a quality it possesses. “We say the difficult thing early” is usable; “honesty” is not.

Held fixed. A value paraphrased differently by each department has already stopped being one commitment.

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.
