Idiomatic Approach for Defining Domain Primitives with Branded Types

const PositiveNumberSchema = Schema.Number.pipe(
  Schema.positive(),
  Schema.brand("PositiveNumber")
);
...
const PositiveNumber = {
  make: (value: unknown) =>
    Schema.decodeUnknown(Schemas.PositiveNumberSchema)(value),

// 1. schema for boundaries
const PositiveNumberSchema = Schema.Number.pipe(
  Schema.positive(),
  Schema.brand("PositiveNumber")
);
type PositiveNumber = typeof PositiveNumberSchema.Type;
const parsePositiveNumber = Schema.decodeUnknownSync(PositiveNumberSchema);

// 2. optional nominal helper for internal code
const PositiveNumberNominal = Brand.nominal<PositiveNumber>()
