The barrier

What has kept the opportunity unserved.

The part

What it is

Economics that do not work, a regulatory obstacle, a capability nobody has, a market too small to interest incumbents, or simple inattention.

The last is real and is rarer than optimists assume.

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.
