How This Pair Actually Operates
Houston and Krakow 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.
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.
Rotate recurring meeting pain across quarters so one city does not absorb every early or late call.
