How This Pair Actually Operates

Austin and Nice 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.

Operating mode
Async by default

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.

  1. Check the current clocks. Review the live Austin and Nice clocks to confirm the real offset and DST state right now.
  2. Inspect the overlap band. Use the dashboard slider to test the 09:00 to 10:00 Austin window before you promise a recurring slot.
  3. Default to async handoff. Because the async risk is very high, plan around a written handoff and reserve live calls for true exceptions.
