Enriched Operating Guide
Tokyo is 5 hours ahead of Yerevan, giving you a narrow 3-hour bridge window from 14:00 to 17:00 local time. Your Tokyo team works at an off-peak afternoon slot while Yerevan joins during its standard morning block. A call score of 1 and very high async risk reflect how compressed this overlap is. Despite the tight live band, decisions can move within the same cycle because the window is predictable and both cities share a standard Monday–Friday workweek.
Overlap And Burden
The live overlap runs 14:00 to 17:00 in Tokyo, which is 09:00 to 12:00 in Yerevan. The compromise window is relatively balanced, with Tokyo holding its sessions at an off-peak afternoon hour and Yerevan joining during its own morning. The 5-hour offset remains stable.
Meeting Recommendation
Best window: 14:00–17:00 Tokyo / 09:00–12:00 Yerevan on weekdays. Run the recurring forum in the shared bridge window and move spillover into written notes. Because both cities are consensus-based and formal, circulate a written agenda before the call and send a summary afterward. Avoid Mondays before 10:00 Tokyo — Yerevan is still ramping up.
