Cargo cranes and ships at a working port

Practice

The Batumi practice

We are a small desk on Rustaveli Street that learned to read event files the way an archivist reads a damaged ledger: slowly, with the burnt edges left in view.

Kernelstreamhub Analytics began as unpaid favours: a hydro shift lead in Adjara asked Nino to look at a night nobody could narrate, and Giorgi, who was then drawing cadastral plates, sat in. The pages that came out of that kitchen table were ugly and useful. Municipal water followed, then a possession on the railway that had been described three different ways in three different offices.

We stayed in Batumi because the work is local even when the voltage is high. The Black Sea humidity wrecks paper. Port plant and city feeders share the same storms. A practice that cannot walk to a substation or a pump pit in the same week is guessing.

How we sit with a file

We do not arrive with a method named after ourselves. We arrive with a table, a long roll of paper, and a rule: every time written on a drawing must name its source. If the SCADA historian and the protection relay disagree, both times stay. If a shift lead remembers a switching order that never entered the log, it is labelled as memory.

Clients sometimes want a smoother story for a ministry folder. We will tighten language. We will not invent a missing hour.

What we will not pretend

We are not a software house, not a laboratory, and not a substitute for your protection engineers. Credentials we claim are the years on shift and the files we have already closed. When a question needs a settings calculation we say so and stop.

The office remains at Level 8, 24 Rustaveli Street, Batumi 6010. Visitors are received by appointment. The sea is visible on a clear afternoon; the work is usually looking down at paper.

Who sits at the table

Nino Kapanadze

Nino Kapanadze

Event reader, electrical traces

Twelve years in dispatch and protection before she left the night roster. She still hears a feeder trip as a sequence of flags, not as a single story.

Giorgi Tskitishvili

Giorgi Tskitishvili

Maps and plates

Trained as a cartographer. He draws one-lines and restoration ladders so they remain legible after a third photocopy on thin municipal paper.

Tamar Beridze

Tamar Beridze

Briefing editor

Holds the file together. She refuses sentences that sound decided when the clocks do not agree, and she keeps the annex in the same order as the argument.
