How This Pair Actually Operates

New York City and Zagreb 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.

Operating mode
Async by default

Live meetings are the exception path here. The operational default should be a documented handoff with a clearly named next owner.`

Meeting cadence
Recurring rule

Use a small escalation slot and treat the rest of the operating model as async handoff-driven.

  • Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
