## Tactical Playbook
- Isolate from institutional scaling operations. His operational threshold peaks during rapid ideation and prototyping; pushing him into executive or administrative maintenance phases will trigger reflexive disengagement and project abandonment.
- Implement an unmediated communication buffer. The subject's preference for impulsive, transparent dialogue over reputation management makes him highly vulnerable to public relations escalation. Delegate public conflict resolution to emotionally detached proxies.
- Frame deliverables as low-stakes experiments rather than high-stakes product launches. Because public expectations and corporate pressure induce operational paralysis, keeping his work environment functioning structurally as a 'sandbox' will maximize his technical execution and creative yield.
