## Tactical Playbook
- Leverage empirical obsession: Anchor all strategic decisions and performance metrics in rigorous, verifiable data to bypass their emotional volatility and align with their 'evidence-first' operational baseline.
- Manage intellectual territoriality: Establish clear boundaries around intellectual property and credit attribution upfront; preempt defensive hoarding behaviors by formalizing roles and public recognition in collaborative environments.
- Channel vertical control constructively: Provide high-autonomy 'sandboxes' where they can design, build, and strictly control their own methodologies, minimizing friction with traditional organizational hierarchies and authorities.
