## Tactical Playbook
- Leverage his data-driven skepticism by bringing engineering depth and strict analytical rigor rather than rhetorical pitches or 'acquisition magic' when seeking project approval.
- Anticipate his willingness to sacrifice short-term schedules for long-term strategic viability; prepare for 'hold and rebaseline' events if programmatic concurrency risk exceeds analytical tolerances.
- Frame resource requests around overarching geopolitical threat vectors and align directly with his defined operational imperatives to secure buy-in and match his institutional sense of urgency.
