Professional setup

Use the simple timer first, then graduate to controlled timing.

Tell founders whether Q&A is inside or outside their total slot.

Keep judge note time separate so scoring does not delay the next pitch.

Use a visible transition cue between founders.

Use XTimer rooms when a producer controls a stage or livestream timer.
