Cron Every Weekday at 3 PM

The cron expression 0 15 * * 1-5 fires at 3:00 PM every weekday. This mid-afternoon timing captures most of the business day's activity while leaving 2 hours before end of day.

Afternoon weekday schedules are useful for generating same-day reports, sending afternoon status updates, running mid-afternoon data validation, and preparing end-of-day summaries. The 3 PM timing works well across US timezones — it's noon Pacific when it's 3 PM Eastern.

This pairs well with a morning counterpart: 0 9 * * 1-5 and 0 15 * * 1-5 create a twice-daily weekday schedule with 6 hours between runs.
