How This Pair Actually Operates

Chengdu and Luanda can still meet live, but one side will usually take the early-start or late-finish hit.

Keep live meetings short, rotate recurring pain intentionally, and move detail-heavy work into documented async follow-up.

Operating mode
Rotate the burden

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.

Meeting cadence
Recurring rule

Rotate recurring meeting pain across quarters so one city does not absorb every early or late call.

How to Pick a Slot

  1. Check the current clocks. Review the live Chengdu and Luanda clocks to confirm the real offset and DST state right now.
  2. Inspect the overlap band. Use the dashboard slider to test the 16:00 to 17:00 Chengdu window before you promise a recurring slot.
  3. Rotate the compromise. If one city keeps taking the early or late edge, rotate the recurring slot instead of freezing the burden in one direction.
