## Tactical Playbook
- Mitigate single-point-of-failure vulnerability by systematically delegating authority to trusted deputies, ensuring operational continuity and unbroken command chains during physical absences.
- Channel micromanagement instincts away from minute task execution (e.g., rivet placement) and toward the design of robust, scalable quality assurance frameworks to aggressively control budget overruns.
- Shift from a 'siege mentality' conflict resolution style toward strategic stakeholder alignment, recognizing that unprecedented scale requires reliable financial and board sponsorship, not just technical superiority.
