Start a digital twin with an operating question

Overview

Define a decision that the twin must support, such as investigating an operating constraint or comparing an intervention. Identify the evidence and model behaviour needed for that decision.

Build a baseline and test the data interfaces with representative records. Retain timestamps, units and quality indicators so a reviewer can distinguish a reliable observation from a stale value.

Validate outputs with the engineering and operating team. Expand only after the first use case has clear ownership, useful results and a maintainable update process.

Key considerations

• Define the operating decision and its owner
• Document the evidence, interfaces and assumptions
• Agree validation and handover responsibilities
