## Tactical Playbook
- Optimize for the '0-to-1' innovation phase: Capitalize on his architectural foresight and prototyping ability by pairing him with a strong operational counterpart to manage long-term maintenance, mitigating his natural restlessness.
- Protect 'flow' via asynchronous rhythms: Minimize synchronous administrative bureaucracy. Engage him through high-density technical pair-programming and async channels to align with his preference for deep work 'in an editor'.
- Leverage radical transparency to drive pivots: When his purist technical vision creates market friction, frame adoption challenges openly. He responds well to pragmatic self-critique and will walk back ideological stances if presented with clear data on user adoption bottlenecks.
