Enriched Operating Guide
This pair still supports live coordination, although the practical version is a protected 09:00 to 17:00 Boston time band rather than a broad shared desk. This pair still supports a real decision band, but the 8/10 live score means you should protect the overlap for decisions and keep detail transfer in writing. The compromise window is relatively balanced between Boston and Miami. Calls are best made between 10:30 AM and 3:30 PM. Miami business is often social and bilingual; do not be surprised if meetings transition between English and Spanish.
Overlap And Burden
Use 09:00 to 17:00 Boston time as the coordination spine and let written prep and follow-up absorb everything outside it. Do not treat the full overlap as equally usable.

Meeting Recommendation
Best window: 09:00 to 17:00 Boston time on weekdays. Book the main forum inside 09:00 to 17:00 Boston time and keep side discussion out of it so the strongest part of the day stays available for real decisions. Hold the live band for approvals, blockers, and owner changes rather than routine status review. Calls are best made between 10:30 AM and 3:30 PM.
