## Tactical Playbook
- Capitalize on his preference for parsimony by presenting data in strictly structural, 'hard-power' frameworks; discard moral or ideological appeals in favor of axiomatic clarity.
- Anticipate and lean into his combative rhythm; do not view intense intellectual friction or blunt critiques as personal hostility, but as a deliberate stress-test of your argument's resilience.
- Leverage his professional loyalty and straight-shooting nature by establishing transparent, high-stakes alliances, recognizing he operates best as a systemic disruptor anchoring controversial baselines.
