The tenure check

Whether the people setting the vision will still be there.

The part

What it is

A horizon beyond the expected tenure of everyone who set it removes accountability entirely, which is occasionally the reason it was chosen.

It is not a reason to shorten the vision. It is a reason to name intermediate markers that fall within someone’s tenure.

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.
