Use written handoff notes for routine continuity. The overlap should resolve ambiguity, not become a second meeting for every open item.
Review questions that recur across time zones
Review questions that recur across time zones. If the same detail is missing, improve the source record or ownership rule rather than lengthening every overlap.
