The timing

When each dependency is expected, and what it delays.

The part

What it is

A dependency due after the initiative’s own start date is the most common and least noticed planning error.

Recording what each one delays makes the critical path visible without needing a formal schedule.

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.
