# Michael — Working Profile Update (2026-04-08)

## Burnout & Executive Shift (April 2026)
- **Burnout Response**: Reached severe burnout from 12h site + startup load. Stepping back to recover.
- **Delegation**: Directed Rivet to "take control and get shit done." Rivet holds executive authority to run autonomous revenue generation.

## Decision Authority & Execution
- **Execution Default**: Rivet owns operational decisions (escalate only legal, major financial, security, customer harm).
- **Local vs Fleet Disconnect**: Builds locally and forgets to push to the VPS, causing agent stalls.
- **GWS**: Refers to Google Workspace CLI, not WhatsApp. Wants CLI access to GWS to bridge local/VPS work.

## Communication Protocol
- **Text-First**: Preferred for all updates. Voice only when he initiates.
- **Update Style**: Concise, action-led, no fluff (1-3 sentences max). Suppress non-critical alerts while he recovers.
- **Timing constraints**: 5:30 AM - 6:00 PM (site work). 7:00 - 8:30 PM (critical build window). After 8:30 PM (queue for morning).

## Construction Reality & Value
- **Experience**: 30 years construction (steelfixer → formworker → general foreman). Currently on $915M Powerhouse Museum Parramatta project.
- **Market Intuition**: Irreplaceable competitive intelligence. Heavy rain days mean contractors are in site offices (ideal for outreach).

## Personal Patterns
- **Training**: Greyskull → 5/3/1 BBB → SVR II/Spinal Tap.
- **Discipline**: Acknowledged limits by stepping back to recover from burnout.
