How This Pair Actually Operates
Charlotte and Houston have a dependable shared block, but the good slot is narrow enough that lunch, late starts, and DST drift can still damage meeting quality.
Anchor important meetings to the shared band and treat the rest of the day as async support time.
This pair still supports live work, but the useful band is narrow enough that calendars should be built around the overlap instead of hoping ad hoc slots remain usable.
Run the recurring forum in the shared bridge window and move spillover into written notes.
