The verdict

Whether the programme is worth running.

The part

What it is

A decision rather than a report. Programmes continue because ending them is difficult rather than because the arithmetic supports them.

Where the verdict is negative, the winding-down question becomes the relevant 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.
