The period

How long until the acquisition cost is recovered.

The part

What it is

From contribution rather than revenue, which lengthens it substantially and correctly.

Measured per channel, since customers from different channels frequently differ in spend and retention.

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.
