Elliot is a licensed architect operating as Head of Construction. His technical knowledge is genuinely elite. The development areas are commercial discipline and delegation. He defaults to doing rather than leading, which creates a bottleneck as the team scales. The ESOP structure starting June 1 creates a direct incentive to think more like a principal and less like a senior PM.
Strengths: file management, coordination, technical precision, architect relationships. Needs to build: delegation habit, commercial margin ownership, structured decision-making without Christo in the room.

Five pillars. Elliot's current focus in each area. These notes save automatically and are private to this framework.
- Commercial margin ownership. Elliot needs to own project profitability, not just delivery.
- Delegation. Stop being the last resort. Build the team's capacity to operate without him in the room.
- Structured decision-making. Define when to escalate to Christo vs. own the call independently.
- Hiring instinct. Begin contributing to hiring conversations and cultural fit assessments.
- Business development contribution. Architect relationships at commercial level, not just project level.
Elliot and Nathan run MTM day-to-day. Christo is in chairman mode. The team functions independently. Elliot owns hiring, margin, culture, and architect pipeline. The ESOP is fully activated and meaningful. This is the goal and it is entirely within reach if the commercial and delegation development lands.
