Seoul handoff windows that actually work

Multi-desk teams in Korea often share one air-gapped room and staggered staff. The bottleneck is rarely cryptography—it is who holds the Faraday bag when the next shift starts.

Name the window, not the hero

Publish handoff slots in KST with a primary and backup owner. Relying on a single “ceremony person” creates silent single points of failure when that person is in traffic on the Dongbu Expressway.

Freeze the pack at the gate

When a shift ends mid-workflow, freeze the evidence pack at the last completed gate. Partial gates marked “in progress” without a freeze note become mysteries overnight.

Practice with empty devices

Run dry handoffs with unpowered training devices so the social choreography is familiar before production keys are involved.
