Nino Kapanadze
Nino spent a decade in people reporting at a Tbilisi bank, reconciling headcount for branches that never used the same unit names. She leads every Workforce Picture and holds the definitions in the notes pack.

The Tbilisi practice behind the charts
We are a small studio on Tsereteli Avenue. We used to sit inside companies, arguing with Friday headcount files. Now we do that work on commission, then leave.
Terminal Flowhub started because Nino was tired of watching a well-meant dashboard project replace a conversation. The numbers were not the problem. The problem was that nobody in the room could say whether “headcount” meant bodies, FTE, or everyone who still had a building pass.
We work as a commissioned practice, not as in-house staff and not as a product company. A study has a beginning, a file list, a briefing, and an end. If you need the picture again next year, we book a new commission. That limit is the point: we stay close to the files you actually have, rather than designing a picture of the files you wish you had.
Tbilisi is not a backdrop. Most of our extracts arrive with Georgian and English column names in the same sheet, with units that still use Soviet-era site nicknames, and with January distorted by the New Year holidays. We have learned to ask for the mapping of old branch codes before we draw a single movement chart. When a group has companies in Batumi or Kutaisi as well as the capital, we say so on the page instead of rolling them into “Georgia” until someone asks.
We do not claim a method with a trademark. We count, we write down what we counted, and we sit in the room until the people who own the decision can repeat the story without us. Credentials that matter here are ordinary: years spent reconciling payroll to the HR file, and a willingness to put a caveat on a chart rather than make it pretty.
Visitors to the studio come to Level 8, 24 Tsereteli Avenue, Tbilisi 0159. The table seats six. If your group is larger, we come to you.
Who you will meet
Giorgi Beridze
Giorgi came from group finance in a manufacturing firm in Kvemo Kartli. He builds the cleaning log, lines labour cost up with headcount, and refuses to hide a cost centre that still contains people.
Tamar Lomaia
Tamar previously prepared board packs for a retail group’s HR director. She runs the live session, watches who is lost, and will stop a slide rather than talk over a disagreement about a definition.
