- Handling a +15h gap: Vancouver and Perth have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in Perth is 12:00 AM in Vancouver.
- Watching a live event or market open: Vancouver viewers need 12:00 AM in Perth to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 9:00 AM if the event is anchored to Vancouver.
