What a requirement covers (includes) and what it excludes. Stating both keeps the requirement from being read wider or narrower than intended. The scope and boundary section of an analysis document is different: it names the entity of interest, what is in and out of scope, the intended use, the intended users by role and the regulated status.

A statement of what the system must do, or the constraint it must respect, in the target state. It is written with one "shall", one subject (the system or a role) and one behavior, and carries an id, a type, a level, an owner role, a scope, a rationale, a source, a verification method with acceptance criteria, a priority, a phase and a lifecycle status.
A named field every requirement carries: id, title, statement, type, level, owner, scope, rationale, source, priority, phase, status, verification, validation, risk, medical flags, trace, and change history and baseline. Together the attributes are the requirement ontology of the Analysis Document Standard.
The kind of a requirement. One of: business, stakeholder, functional, quality, service-level, security, regulatory, constraint, architecture, interface, data, operation or risk-control.
Where a requirement sits in the decomposition. One of: business, stakeholder, system or software.
The requirement owner is a role taken from the role register, never a person. Every requirement has an owner role, such as the business owner, the PHI owner or the platform owner. A person's name appears only in the role register, as the current holder of the role.
