The margin
What the route costs in margin share.
The part
What it is
The partner’s cut, plus any pricing pressure the route imposes, plus the discounting it requires to compete with other routes.
The total is usually larger than the headline margin share.
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.
