The goal

What they appear to be trying to achieve.

The part

What it is

Growth, profitability, a particular position, or preparation for a sale. Each produces very different behaviour and each is readable.

An organisation preparing for a sale behaves distinctively: cost discipline, headline metrics and reduced long-horizon investment.

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.
