The time cost

How much human effort winning one takes.

The part

What it is

Sales conversations, demonstrations, proposals and negotiation. In considered purchases this exceeds the media cost by a wide margin.

It also determines how many customers the organisation can win at all, which is a capacity question rather than a budget one.

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.
