FM-13 - Counterpart Adaptation Worksheet

Treat communication type as a hypothesis, never a diagnosis.

Observation	Possible need to test	Adaptation	Guardrail
Requests detail, avoids instant decision	Accuracy, risk control, review time	Provide evidence and time; ask what is missing	Do not call delay obstruction without testing
Builds relationship, agrees readily	Connection, harmony, or avoidance of conflict	Confirm hard commitments explicitly	Warmth is not performance
Speaks briefly and presses for result	Efficiency, authority, urgency	Be concise and direct; state conditions	Directness is not permission to overpromise
