How This Pair Actually Operates
Kathmandu and Rio de Janeiro 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.
Live meetings are the exception path here. The operational default should be a documented handoff with a clearly named next owner.`
Use a small escalation slot and treat the rest of the operating model as async handoff-driven.

What This Pair Is Best For
Async project work

Escalation-only calls
Use live calls only for incidents, customer risk, or approval deadlines that genuinely justify waking one side outside normal hours.
Documented transfer lanes
This pair becomes useful when the handoff template, ETA, and response expectation are standardized.

How to Pick a Slot
- Check the current clocks. Review the live Kathmandu and Rio de Janeiro clocks to confirm the real offset and DST state right now.
- Inspect the overlap band. Use the dashboard slider to test the 17:00 to 19:00 Kathmandu window before you promise a recurring slot.
- Default to async handoff. Because the async risk is very high, plan around a written handoff and reserve live calls for true exceptions.
