How This Pair Actually Operates
Madrid and Vancouver 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.

- Lunch Break 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Never call during the 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM lunch window. The best times are 11:00 AM - 1:30 PM or 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM. Spanish business culture is highly relational; expect to spend time on personal introductions. Note that the city significantly slows down during the month of August.
