The outcome

What happened.

The part

What it is

What got worse, on what measure. A change reverted on opinion is a weaker record than one reverted on evidence.

Where a change was reverted without measurement, saying so leaves the question genuinely open.

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.
