Abstract Building digital twins is a cross‐disciplinary endeavor, combining the efforts of modelers, system engineers, data analysts, UX designers and domain experts. For digital twins to be able to evolve with their paired, real‐world system, the artifacts associated with these various disciplines must remain synchronized and coherent throughout the digital twin lifecycle. We provide a paradigm for harmonizing this multi‐disciplinary effort using an Authoritative Broker of Truth (ABoT) process and apply this paradigm to a real‐world case study: Can I ‘cut the cord’ on my cable provider and receive free over‐the‐air television?
