How This Pair Actually Operates
Houston and Tallinn 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.

Async still matters for prep and follow-up, but the live window is good enough that decisions can usually happen inside the same cycle.
Tallinn is off today, so the handoff is more likely to move after the current break.
Tallinn is currently in weekend mode, so the next business opening is the safest assumption.
