• Embed closely with customer teams, understand their needs, and guide adoption of what you build.
• Scope work, sequence delivery, and remove blockers early.
• Make trade-offs between scope, speed, and quality; adjust plans to protect delivery.
• Contribute directly in the code when progress or clarity depends on it.
• Codify working patterns into tools, playbooks, or building blocks that others can use.
• Share field feedback that helps Research and Product understand where the models succeed and where they can improve.
• Keep teams moving through clarity and follow-through.
