How This Pair Actually Operates

Abidjan and Sapporo only have a thin live relay window, so most progress depends on explicit ownership transfer rather than long meetings.

Use live overlap for escalations and approvals, then hand work across the day boundary with clear next-seen expectations.

Operating mode
Handoff-led

Live meetings are the exception path here. The operational default should be a documented handoff with a clearly named next owner.`

Meeting cadence
Recurring rule

Use a small escalation slot and treat the rest of the operating model as async handoff-driven.

Lunch and workweek pressure

Workweek guidance is limited for this pair, so keep local operating calendars visible.

Follow-the-sun execution

This pair is stronger as a relay lane where Abidjan and Sapporo pass work forward with an explicit next owner.

Deadline-aware handoffs

The useful workflow is a written handoff with a named next seen window, not an assumption that the other side will catch up immediately.
