Overlap And Burden
Treat 16:00 to 19:00 Muscat time as the real coordination band, not as an open-ended collaboration block. Workweek guidance is limited for this pair, so keep local operating calendars visible. The recommended live band stays mostly outside the main lunch window pressure for this pair. Formal, polite, and relationship-driven.
