Which option lists the two components that make up the digital golden thread?

• A. Info management - ensure accurate, easy to understand and up to date info
• B. Info about building so people can understand and keep it safe; Info management - ensure accurate, easy to understand and up to date info
• C. Project cost tracking and schedule management
• D. Info about building so people can understand and keep it safe

Answer: (B)

The digital golden thread is built from two essential elements: information about the building so people can understand it and keep it safe, and information management that ensures that information is accurate, easy to understand, and up to date. This pairing matters because the asset data needs to be reliable and accessible, while governance and processes keep that data current and usable across the project and lifecycle. The option that lists both components captures this combination: the building information itself plus the management of that information. Other choices either omit the building information, focus on unrelated project controls, or miss the governance aspect, making them incomplete compared with the two-part foundation described.
