State offsets as scenario inputs
Fictional audiences N and S use fixed offsets+2h and+5h from a reference clock. Local release window is 09:00 inclusive to 18:00 exclusive for both. Proposed reference time 14:00 gives N16:00 and S19:00. No real timezone, daylight-saving behaviour or sending-platform feature is implied.
| Audience | Local time | Eligible |
|---|---|---|
| N+2h | 16:00 | Yes |
| S+5h | 19:00 | No |
Convert the proposed instant per audience
- Read supplied fixed offsets
- Add offset to reference instant
- Check 09≤local<18
- Keep S out of this release window
If the offset is unknown, the audience timing remains unresolved.
How many audiences fit 14:00 reference release, and does 13:00 allow S?
Show the worked answer
One audience N. At reference 13:00 S is 18:00, still excluded; S needs a reference time before 13:00 and within its lower bound.
Select eligible audience windows
| Case | Decision or result | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| S at local 18:00 | Outside | End excluded |
| N at local 16:00 | Inside | Between 09 and 18 |
