tasks, and the technician team that deals with daily work orders. A 3x3 principle has been created to implement this concept into the digital twin framework. The Proposed AM/FM Digital Twin Framework – The 3X3 Principle Based on the discussion above, this article introduces the high-level framework that is designed to serve the challenges facing the AECO industry while integrating all technologies and processes using a modular programmatic structure. One of the critical topics this series will address is the adaptiveness of the framework and how it can be used for different levels/types of stakeholders. For example, the information requirements will differ from a facility operator to a facility director and from a leasing officer to a budget estimator. Although it contains all the data and information, the digital twin also needs to be capable of adapting to perform data analytics and aggregations and report in a way that fulfills the end user's needs without overwhelming them or creating unnecessary distractions. As a result, a 3x3 principle has been developed to be applied through- out the entire framework development. A short description has been listed below. Detailed use cases will be included in future installments.

• 3 Minutes

- Intent: Locate problems and provide corresponding responses with clear notification and guidance. - Example: Facility Manager will take 3 minutes to review a notifi- cation or alert on the dashboard across the entire facility covering multi-disciplines and decide what the next step should be.

• 30 Minutes

- Intent: Provide explicit rich asset information for the executor to perform required tasks. - Example: Facility Operator will take 30 minutes to dive into specific issues assigned to create service requests, send the right personal, and collect the required information. Summary In the following installments, the previously discussed framework will be divided into four issues that cover all five areas with real-life case studies and best practices. The articles are intended to trigger innova- tive discussions regarding the cradle-to-cradle digital twin lifecycle solution that makes AM/FM more effective, efficient, and predictive.

• 30 Seconds

- Intent: Gather as much facility performance information as possible with minimum effort and distractions. - Example: Facility Director will take 30 seconds for a quick glance at the facility dashboard/big screen to absorb enough knowledge and
