The unknowns

What will not be known in time.

The part

What it is

Every fast decision leaves things unknown. Naming them converts an incomplete assessment into a stated risk.

A decision made with three named unknowns is a considerably better decision than one made without noticing them.

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.
