Attribute

An attribute is a single characteristic or property that describes an entity. It gives shape to your data and helps apps understand what something is and how it behaves.

We use attributes as the fundamental building blocks of meaning inside Decidr. Every entity in your organisation — customers, products, workflows, goals — is described through a set of well-defined attributes. These attributes are not just data fields; they carry shared meaning through your ontology and schema so apps understand them consistently.

Because attributes are structured and defined once, agentic apps can reason with them confidently. A “priority” attribute means the same thing across finance, operations and support. A “status” attribute reflects the same lifecycle stage wherever it appears. This shared understanding allows apps to coordinate actions, compare situations and adapt behaviour without ambiguity.

Attributes in Decidr are also designed to evolve. As your business changes, attributes can be extended, grouped or refined without breaking the wider system.

Clear attributes reduce confusion and misinterpretation across tools and teams. Instead of different systems treating the same data differently, your organisation works from a shared set of definitions.

For your business, this supports more reliable automation, clearer reporting and better decision making. When attributes are well defined, your apps act with greater precision and your team spends less time reconciling inconsistencies or questioning data quality.

Over time, strong attribute design supports scale. As your organisation grows in complexity, attributes keep meaning stable.

attributes appear throughout your organisation, such as:

• A customer’s lifecycle stage, value or risk level
• An order’s value, urgency or delivery status
• A workflow’s health, progress or blockage state
• A goal’s priority, timeframe or attainability.

These attributes are referenced consistently by apps, workflows and views.

Attributes turn raw data into meaningful signals your apps can reason with.
