cadence<\/div>\n    <h2 class=\"section-h\">Solo to <em>ninety minutes.<\/em> Paired beyond.<\/h2>\n    <p class=\"section-sub\">The substantive cadence difference from simultaneous: consecutive can be <strong>delivered solo up to approximately 90 minutes<\/strong> of active interpretation time, because the pause-and-deliver structure provides micro-breaks that simultaneous does not. <em>Beyond ~90 minutes<\/em>, paired delivery becomes the standard \u2014 same AIIC discipline applies, with rotation between the pair on segment boundaries.<\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"cad-hero\">\n      <div

In consecutive, the speaker is talking while the interpreter is listening and noting \u2014 but the <em>delivery phase<\/em> activates different cognitive resources (retrieval + production rather than parallel parsing + production).<\/p>\n        <p class=\"cad-load-text\">Each pause-and-deliver cycle gives the interpreter a brief <strong>cognitive shift<\/strong>. Over sustained delivery, this is enough to extend solo working time to roughly 90 minutes before fatigue effects begin to compound. <em>Beyond that threshold<\/em>, paired delivery is the AIIC-aligned operational benchmark.<\/p>\n        <p class=\"cad-load-text\">Paired consecutive does not require a booth \u2014 the second interpreter sits at the table beside the active interpreter, supports note-taking, monitors for missed segments, and takes over at agreed segment boundaries. <strong>Cognitive load equalisation<\/strong>, same principle as simultaneous, different operational form.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n\n      <div class=\"cad-threshold\">\n        <div class=\"cad-threshold-h\">Solo-vs-paired thresholds by session length<\/div>\n        <div class=\"cad-row\">\n          <span class=\"cad-duration\">\u22642 hrs<\/span>\n          <div class=\"cad-info\"><strong>Solo \u00b7 standard<\/strong>Bilateral meetings \u00b7 negotiations \u00b7 technical briefings \u00b7 interviews.
