How This Pair Actually Operates
Kathmandu and Sao Paulo only have a thin live relay window, so most progress depends on explicit ownership transfer rather than long meetings.
Use live overlap for escalations and approvals, then hand work across the day boundary with clear next-seen expectations.
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.

Sao Paulo → Kathmandu
Sao Paulo → Kathmandu is the faster handoff lane right now. Expected first seen: Mon, Apr 13 · 09:15. Expected action: Mon, Apr 13 · 10:30.

Kathmandu is currently in weekend mode, so the next business opening is the safest assumption.
