Applying the Standard
The behavioral standard applies to any building where people live and interact with systems the building operates. Tower residential is the primary application — all six domains fully active, every behavioral expectation relevant. The other building types apply the same standard through a different lens: which domains are fully active, which have narrower scope, which capabilities are most relevant, and where the typical failure patterns concentrate.
The standard does not change. The application does.
How building type affects application
Three dimensions vary by property type.
Domain scope. Which domains fully apply, which have reduced scope, and which are minimal. A villa community has minimal Deliveries scope (no centralized parcel system) but full Access scope (gate entry, visitor management). A BTR development has expanded Spaces scope (amenity-heavy) and accelerated Lifecycle scope (higher turnover).
Capability relevance. Which capabilities within each domain are most relevant. A branded residence does not need parcel lockers (concierge handles everything) but requires the same chain of custody and notification expectations. A student housing property needs term-based lifecycle management that most residential buildings do not.
Emphasis. Which qualities carry the greatest weight for that property type. A co-living building's Harmony expectations are more demanding because shared systems touch more residents more often. A branded residence's Grace expectations are more demanding because the service promise is higher.

Each building type is examined on its own page — what defines it operationally, how the domains activate, and the behavioral patterns most acute in that type.
The principle
The expectation does not change. The implementation does. A 30-unit building in Helsinki and a 400-unit tower in Dubai face the same behavioral expectations. A branded residence in London and a student housing block in Manchester face the same behavioral expectations. What they have to work with is different. The standard scales with the building's capabilities — the standard of care does not.
