We have not discussed this point, but I'm assuming it's off the table due to cost. And yes, this is for 24x7 rotations where everyone is in the same timezone...

I'd love to get feedback on pricing etc, to see how far off I am, if you have a second to email me? If not, nbd.

This is a series of posts that have pretty sane defaults; I personally would not do a daily rotation, but rather rotations of 5 days, and alternating weekends (one guy does M-F, one guy does Sat/Sund) and you switch off.

Nice link! And I agree the daily rotation is a bad idea, however we're leaning towards doing a Tuesday-to-Tuesday week long shift.
