On décrit la manière de travailler de quelqu'un et les conséquences.
"G., with his spactic intellectually spastic style, proved to be the sort of secret sauce that clients came back for."

* spastic veut dire convulsif mais dans ce contexte, je ne sais pas quel adjectif pourrait convenir

* doit-on garder en français la comparaison avec "sauce secrète" ? j'aimerais changer mais je ne vois pas comment.
