Capability comparison · The evidence · Element

The age

How old each assessment is.

The part

What it is

Competitor capability changes on a release cycle. An assessment older than two of their releases describes a product that no longer exists.

Age is the field that most often invalidates a comparison, and it is the one most often absent.

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.
