7 Days, 7 Lessons -The Execution Sprint
The "Digital Twin" Audit
Before you automate, you must document.
Welcome to Week 5. We have graduated from the "What" and the "Why." We are now in the "How."
In 2026, a property that only exists in the physical world is a "Ghost Asset"—it is invisible to modern lenders, difficult to insure, and impossible to automate.
To become a Platform Founder, your first execution task is to create a Digital Twin: a high-fidelity, $3$D data model of your property that lives in the cloud.
🛠️ The "Verification Stack"
You don’t need a £20,000 surveying team. You only need your smartphone and the Alpha Verification Stack.
1. The LIDAR Scan (Spatial Truth)
Using a pro-level smartphone with LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), you will perform a "Walkthrough Scan."
-
The Tech: Apps like Polycam or Canvas allow you to walk through a room and capture dimensions with 99% accuracy.
-
The Output: A fully textured 3D model and a CAD-ready floor plan.
-
Why it matters: When a pipe bursts or you need to order a replacement kitchen while the tenant is in situ, you don't "pop round with a tape measure." You open the model.
2. The Thermal Audit (Energy Truth)
Using a mobile thermal imaging attachment (like a FLIR camera), you map the heat loss of the envelope.
-
The Action: Scan windows, loft hatches, and joist ends during the winter months.
-
The Output: A "Heat Map" of your property.
-
The Alpha Move: Attach this to your Grant Arbitrage application (Day 31). It is "irrefutable evidence" of why you need that insulation grant.
3. The "Immutable Data Room" (Legal Truth)
All these files—scans, thermal maps, EPC certificates, and gas safety records—are uploaded to a secure, timestamped "Data Room" (using IPFS or a secure cloud vault).
-
Lender-Ready: When you refinance in Month 7, you don't send a PDF. You send a link.
-
The Impact: Banks in 2026 prioritize "Transparent Assets." Providing a Digital Twin can shave weeks off the valuation process.
📋 The Day 29 "Audit" Checklist
-
Capture the Envelope: Scan the exterior and all interior rooms to create the $3$D base layer.
-
Tag the Assets: Within your 3D model, "tag" key appliances (Boiler, Consumer Unit, Stopcock) with photos of their serial numbers and install dates.
-
The "Pre-Automation" Check: Ensure every radiator is tagged for future Smart TRV (Thermostatic Radiator Valve) installation.
🎯 The Goal: Immutable Transparency
By the end of today, your property is no longer a "brick box." It is a Digital Asset. You have created a "Single Source of Truth" that allows your AI agents to "see" the building they are managing.
