Meeting Recommendation
Best window: 16:00 to 17:00 Bucharest time on weekdays. Rotate recurring meeting pain across quarters so one city does not absorb every early or late call. Async still matters for prep and follow-up, but the live window is good enough that decisions can usually happen inside the same cycle.

How This Pair Actually Operates
