## Tactical Playbook
- Manage the 'Containment' Protocol: The subject operates on high-trust, isolated dialogue and views traditional PR as a threat. Shield the conceptual phase from public scrutiny entirely, facilitating 1:1 empathetic engagements between the subject and key stakeholders to build necessary alignment before broader reveals.
- Buffer Against Market Timelines: The subject's 'thinking architecture' relies on exhaustive iteration and tactile modeling rather than digital speed. Traditional deadlines will trigger friction; construct elongated, milestone-based schedules that frame patience as a structural requirement rather than a project delay.
- Preempt 'All-or-Nothing' Value Engineering Friction: The subject views built work as indivisible sculpture and will favor demolition or public disavowal over compromise. Ring-fence budgets specifically for critical tactile and sensory details early in the project to prevent explosive public responses ('no Zumthor details anymore') triggered by systemic cost-cutting.
