• Run the daily and weekly operating cadence against market KPIs (vehicle downtime, customer outcomes, completed rides, wait times, cost). Spot gaps early and close them in the field

• First-principles operator: you design highly scalable SOPS that deliver quality products and outcomes to all customers
