Timezone. OpenClaw Consult is based in Los Angeles. 18 hour offset. Canberra mornings overlap with LA afternoons of the previous day. Synchronous calls are scheduled inside that overlap window. Outside it, the work runs async against a shared Git repo with written scopes, recorded handoffs, and runbooks.
Engagement shapes we see in Canberra.
