## Tactical Playbook
- Implement the 'Double or Half' heuristic: Avoid incrementalism in testing; apply extreme, binary systemic changes to immediately surface the structural impact and mechanics of a decision.
- Prioritize playable prototypes over comprehensive documentation: Maintain a 'Find the Fun' operational loop where ideas are tested in functional code within days, applying ruthless sunk-cost tolerance to discard unengaging features.
- Shield iterative creation from organizational drag: Preserve small-team autonomy and utilize a 'show, don't tell' daily feedback mechanism to mitigate 'design by committee' and sustain operational momentum through development valleys.
