How This Pair Actually Operates
Auckland and Nairobi operate on opposite sides of the workday, so forcing live meetings usually creates more fatigue than clarity.
Design the workflow around written handoffs, explicit SLAs, and a narrow exception path for urgent live calls.
Live meetings are the exception path here. The operational default should be a documented handoff with a clearly named next owner.`

Documented transfer lanes
This pair becomes useful when the handoff template, ETA, and response expectation are standardized.
