4 + 6 → 1 + 0 → 1
What the vowels want: to be met. Not managed, not needed — met. You would trade being impressive for being understood, and you have.
2 + 0 → 2
What the consonants project: authority before rank. You get billed for confidence you did not claim, and negotiations start harder because they assume you can take it.
2 + 6 → 8
