Built for Value

Why the smartest move in AI is a digital twin you can trust

by Cristina Savian

A handbook for the people who sponsor and approve digital investment in AEC: asset owners, AEC leadership, and the executives who sign it off. It is built on one argument: create digital copies of components where there is business value in doing so.
