Work packageable things - being instruments or bills - form the focus of parliamentary work packages. Some instruments are made under powers delegated by enabling legislation.

Instruments and bills are made available to Parliament by organisations accountable to Parliament. Those organisations accountable to Parliament which are also government departments may sponsor bills and lead on treaties.

A parliamentary work package is subject to a procedure and may have a calculation style set out in legislation. Work packages are formed of business items actualising one or more business steps.

Business steps may be in a House, both Houses or neither House. A business step may also be in a legislature, or not. They may form part of a step collection, which may be related to a House or a procedure.

Business steps are one type of step, the other types being logical and arithmetic operators and summation steps.

Procedures are formed from routes and clocks connecting steps.
