Keepers of rooms and tables
Innkeepers and restaurateurs in Kutaisi who keep night counts and covers, and want those counts read against the same season in Imereti rather than against a national average that mixes the mountains with the coast.

Vol. of figures, not of rumour
Metricvectorbase Analytics
Where one figure is set beside another
Metric benchmark comparison, drawn by hand at a desk in Kutaisi, for people who must decide whether a number is high, low, or merely unlike its neighbours.
Bring the yearbook, not a rumour
The comparison desk at Metricvectorbase Analytics exists for a narrow task: to take a number you already keep — occupancy, unit cost, waiting days, harvest volume, staff hours per bed — and set it beside a reference group that can bear the comparison. We work in Kutaisi. The pages leave the eighth floor of 27 Aghmashenebeli Street as a study, a chart plate, or a spoken briefing, not as a product you open every morning.
Georgia publishes a great deal of official figures. Trade yearbooks, municipal returns, and cooperative ledgers sit in the same city as the people who must act on them. What is usually missing is the neighbour: the like-for-like set, the base year, the footnote that says why a Batumi average cannot judge a Kutaisi guesthouse. That neighbour is what we draw.
Who climbs the stairs
People who already have figures, and need a neighbour for them
Clerks and cooperative boards
Municipal clerks, wine cooperatives, and small company boards who must tell a minister, a lender, or a members’ meeting whether a cost, a yield, or a waiting time is unusual — and who refuse to be answered with a slogan.
The principal engagement
A metric benchmark comparison study
We take the figures you already keep, agree a reference set that is actually comparable, and return a bound note with charts, footnotes, and a plain-language reading. The work happens at the desk on Aghmashenebeli Street. You do not receive a login. You receive pages.
Also from the desk
Related work we still take by the sheet
Metric benchmark comparison study
A written study that sets your figures beside an agreed reference group, with charts, caveats, and a reading a non-specialist can follow.
Chart and table commission
A single chart plate or comparison table drawn from figures you already trust, for a report, a yearbook page, or a board pack.
Seasonal re-comparison
A later sitting with the same reference set, once new months or a new harvest have been counted.
From the correspondence
A Kutaisi inn, three seasons, one honest neighbour
They refused to put us next to Batumi hotels, which was the whole point of writing to them. The occupancy chart for 2023 against Imereti guesthouses of similar size made the winter drop look ordinary and the September spike look like a local festival, not a miracle of management.

Reading a trade yearbook without being misled by averages
Yearbooks are neighbours in waiting. They are also full of averages that hide the room you actually sit in.
When last year’s number is not a benchmark
A mirror is useful. It is still a mirror. Treating it as a neighbour hides weather, rule changes, and new rooms.
