Post-it Note

Industrials

A Post-it Note is a small piece of paper carrying a re-adherable strip of glue on its back, made for temporarily attaching notes to documents and other surfaces; a low tack pressure sensitive adhesive lets the notes be attached, removed and re-posted elsewhere without leaving residue. The signature adhesive was discovered accidentally by a scientist at 3M, and though originally sold as small yellow squares, Post-it notes are now available in at least 28 documented colors as well as various shapes and sizes.

Entity identity for the business product-service.sector GICS enum value this member already carries, per the phase 3 entity-backed browse bucket pilot (docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md, owner decision 2026-09-28 on business product-service.sector, w-bucketpilot-gics-0929). The sector fact itself, with its own citation, remains on the member entity unchanged; this edge only adds the durable entity identity the enum value already names.
