The authority

What the organisation knows that others do not.

The part

What it is

Drawn from the work itself — what was built, what went wrong, what the data shows — rather than from what the team finds interesting.

Thin authority is a finding rather than a wording problem. A pillar nobody inside can speak to will be filled with material assembled from other people’s articles.

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.
