From TypeScript's do's and don'ts:[0]
Don’t ever use the types Number, String, Boolean, or Object. These
types refer to non-primitive boxed objects that are almost never used
appropriately in JavaScript code.
Although Minerva only uses JSDocs at this time which seemingly doesn't
care about casing[1], we should endeavor to use the proper return types.
This patch lowercases typing to indicate primitive / boxed type as
appropriate.[2] As a special case, function types are uppercased for
compatibility with TypeScript type checking.
Also, JQuery types are of type "JQuery". The global JQuery object's
identifier is "jQuery". This patch uppercases J's where appropriate.
Lastly, replace unsupported type "Integer" with "number" and a comment.

Given the level of documentation in this repo is extremely
low now seems a good as time as any.
The resulting documentation is a vast improvement on before
grouping functions to an owner and introducing module names.
We can iterate on the documentation over time.
