The trigger
What counts as blocked, stated in advance.
The part
What it is
Owners escalate late because they are unsure whether the situation qualifies. A stated trigger removes the judgement call.
Time-based triggers work best: blocked for more than five working days, whatever the reason.
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.
