How This Pair Actually Operates

Calgary and Edinburgh 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.

Documented transfer lanes

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

  2. Inspect the overlap band. Use the dashboard slider to test the 09:00 to 10:00 Calgary window before you promise a recurring slot.
