Questions

What is the best time for a meeting between United States (East) and Canada (East)?
On a typical weekday the best slot is 09:00 in United States (East) and 09:00 in Canada (East) (13:00 UTC). Every half hour is ranked by working hours, meals, sleep and the local weekend — not just the timezone overlap.
Why not just pick a time when both sides are at work?
Shared working hours are a start, but 14:30 can be lunch in Madrid and 22:00 can be sleep in Tokyo. The hours above are the ones that still score well after those windows are applied.
How much working-hour overlap is there between United States (East) and Canada (East)?
On a typical day the two sides share about 7 hours of working time (13:00–16:00 · 17:00–21:00 UTC). That window is the raw overlap; the ranked slots also avoid meals and sleep.
