How each one tends to show up

The chemistry

At their best, and where they clash

At their best: Impeccable quality and deep integrity; nothing slips.

Where they clash: Both certain, both correcting — criticism spirals, and perfectionism stalls the work. No one says "good enough."

T1 = Type 1. Every type pairing can work well — this is a map of where effort is needed, not a verdict on the people.
