Follow-the-sun coverage
Cover arranged across time zones so nights are worked by people who are awake.
Urgent versus routine classification
A written rule for what wakes somebody and what waits for morning.
Seasonal scaling
Extra trained cover for known peaks, arranged in advance.
Morning handover log
A written record of everything handled overnight.
