The guardrails

Measures that must not deteriorate while the goal is pursued.

The part

What it is

A guardrail is a different thing from a supporting measure: it carries a floor rather than a target, and breaching it is a stop condition.

Most strategic goals can be achieved by damaging something else, and this is where that is caught.

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.
