The outside scope

Revenue that sits outside the stated scope.

The part

What it is

It exists in almost every organisation and its size is the useful number. A few per cent is noise; a fifth is a scope that has been overtaken.

How it arose is worth recording: a large customer’s request, an acquisition, or a team following an opportunity nobody assessed.

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.
