Enriched Operating Guide
Algiers runs 3 hours behind Baku. The shared overlap band is 09:00 to 14:00 Algiers time, which places Baku in a 12:00 to 17:00 window. The call score of 3.6 reflects a short working-day overlap and a very high async risk — this is not a pair where live sessions can carry every planning touchpoint. Your teams will need a deliberate async cadence with written handoffs, pre-reads distributed before any meeting, and decisions routed to the narrow live window only when synchronous debate is genuinely required.
Overlap And Burden
The overlap runs from 09:00 to 14:00 in Algiers (12:00 to 17:00 in Baku). Baku carries the greater scheduling burden: its team joins live sessions starting at midday and extending toward the end of the standard workday. Algiers operates within normal business hours for the entire window. The lunch-conflict modifier means that Algiers' midday break and Baku's midday expectations may overlap, reducing the effective live band further — treat 12:00–13:00 as tentative rather than confirmed.
Meeting Recommendation
Lock meetings between 10:00 and 13:00 Algiers time (13:00 to 16:00 Baku time) on weekdays. This window gives Baku a 13:00–16:00 slot that stays within a normal working day without excessive after-hours exposure. Move all status updates, review cycles, and preparatory work into async channels before the meeting. Avoid back-to-back meeting stacking — with only a 5-hour gap before Baku reaches end-of-day, there is no buffer to recover if one session runs long.
How This Pair Actually Operates
Algiers and Baku have a dependable shared block, but the good slot is narrow enough that lunch, late starts, and DST drift can still damage meeting quality.
Anchor important meetings to the shared band and treat the rest of the day as async support time.
This pair still supports live work, but the useful band is narrow enough that calendars should be built around the overlap instead of hoping ad hoc slots remain usable.
Run the recurring forum in the shared bridge window and move spillover into written notes.

- Inspect the overlap band. Use the dashboard slider to test the 09:00 to 14:00 Algiers window before you promise a recurring slot.
- Rotate the compromise. If one city keeps taking the early or late edge, rotate the recurring slot instead of freezing the burden in one direction.
