Most US teams think of an offshore gap as a cost: a day lost waiting for an answer. Flip the handoff and the same gap becomes a second shift. You brief at the end of your day and review real progress the next morning.
The trick is writing the work as outcomes, not tasks, so the team can keep moving overnight instead of stalling on a question. One clear overlap window a day covers the live decisions. Everything else runs while you sleep.
Teams that get this right stop counting hours and start counting shipped work. The clock, for once, is on your side.
