How This Pair Actually Operates

Algiers and Chennai 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.

Operating mode
Live with guardrails

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.

  2. Inspect the overlap band. Use the dashboard slider to test the 09:00 to 13:00 Algiers window before you promise a recurring slot.
