The existing load

What the owner and team already have committed.

The part

What it is

Counting only formal commitments understates the load. Operational responsibilities and standing meetings consume capacity without appearing in any goal list.

A realistic figure is usually well under full-time availability, and stating that honestly is what makes the check useful.

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.
