The sources

Where each assessment came from.

The part

What it is

Direct evaluation is strongest, customer report next, published material weakest, and internal impression is not a source.

A comparison in which most entries rest on impression is describing the organisation’s beliefs rather than the market.

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.
