SCHEDULE / Deliver
Handoff Clock
Make timezone handoffs a date, not an assumption.
What it does
- A handoff across timezones loses a day when the window is assumed.
- The clock converts a local cut-off into the client local deadline.
- Two overlapping hours are enough if both sides know which two.
How to use it
- Write the cut-off in both timezones in the agreement.
- A Friday handoff to a Monday timezone costs three days, not one.
- State the overlap hours in the kickoff note so nobody guesses.
- Holidays differ; check the client calendar each quarter.
Safety notes
- A handoff without a stated cut-off is a schedule you do not control.
- Do not promise a same-day review across more than six hours of offset.
