Meet CohortMark: branded workshop certificates, batch PDFs and QR issuer records. Start with 25 certificates free. Built by Logic Foundry for independent adult-workshop trainers.
Meet CohortMark →A proposed predictive-maintenance review begins with the decision a team could make, the warning time it would need and the consequences of an incorrect alert. A fictional planning exercise connects prediction quality with operational readiness.
Read the full article →A lower energy total is an observation. Explaining why it changed requires a clear comparison. This practical analysis distinguishes actual use, weather-normalized metrics and a proposed review of operating changes before drawing conclusions.

A changing value on a screen is only the beginning of a useful building integration demonstration. This proposed review asks whether equipment identity, units, time and uncertainty survive the journey from source to operating decision.
Read the full article →A work-order total tells a portfolio manager how much is recorded, but not why work is waiting. A proposed review separates priority, readiness and dependency so that teams can identify the next decision without hiding unresolved work.
Read the full article →A building handover can include a full document set while leaving operators unsure why a system was configured that way. A proposed decision record connects design intent, accepted tradeoffs, open questions and the people responsible for review.
Read the full article →When a building dashboard shows no alarms, ask whether the monitoring is healthy too. A practical design proposal separates equipment condition from data availability, with a small exercise for testing stale and missing readings.
Read the full article →A fluent maintenance summary can hide uncertainty. A practical design proposal for separating observations, interpretations and proposed actions before an AI-assisted work order reaches a technician.
Read the full article →An override can solve a real operating need and still become tomorrow's unexplained exception. A practical proposal for recording intent and reviewing building controls without more nuisance alerts.

An equipment name should help the next person find the right asset. Across multiple buildings, pair a recognizable name with its property and physical location, and check for an existing record before adding another. CORE-FM connects properties, assets and work orders so the equipment stays in context. Bring one building's asset list to a walkthrough: https://logicfoundry.ca/contact #AssetManagement #FacilityManagement #COREFM
Read the full article →Managing several buildings? Start each maintenance job with four things: the property, the asset, the next action and the person responsible. CORE-FM brings properties, assets, work orders and preventive maintenance into one facilities platform. Here is a practical way to review your workflow. Want to see it around your own buildings?

English-language guidance is globally relevant, with an operating focus on Canada and the United States. Local requirements and site conditions belong in each building's decision process.
