The authoriser

Who has to agree.

The part

What it is

Where the change crosses functions, someone above both of them. That person has to be identified before the work starts rather than discovered when it stalls.

A change with no identified authoriser will not be made, however good the case.

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.
