      A defining factor of the EvidenceVariable. Multiple characteristics are applied
       with &quot;and&quot; semantics.
      Characteristics can be defined flexibly to accommodate different use cases for
       membership criteria, ranging from simple codes, all the way to using an expression
       language to express the criteria.
