I · Sources
The list before the pencil
Giorgi writes every return, ledger, and yearbook that will touch the question. You mark what you trust. Work does not start on a polite assumption that a missing year can be guessed later.
Method
From source list to finished sheets
The atelier is a table, a wall, and a rule: nothing is drawn until the sources are named, and nothing is smoothed to look finished.
Visitors sometimes expect a wall of screens. They find paper, clips, and a kettle. Forecasting and trend discovery, as this office practises them, happen when a series is large enough to see from a chair and annotated enough to survive a sceptical finance clerk.
If you want to see the desk before commissioning work, write and ask for a short visit. We will show a sample set with sources redacted, not a catalogue of styles. The briefings we take are listed with their real contents — bound sheets, outlooks, archive joins, sittings — on the briefings page.
II · Sketches
Coarse grain, on purpose
Nino draws the series at a grain large enough to show a false comparison. This is the stage at which a weekly overlay, a split unit, or a year that must be excluded still costs little pride.
III · Review
Marks in the margin
You receive sketches or a short sitting. A revision is included. We would rather redraw a sheet now than hang a corridor chart that a clerk can undo with one question about units.
IV · Sitting
Hanging order and the range
Finished sheets are walked in the order they should be hung. Elene or Nino reads the forecast range aloud. Pencil is encouraged. A second briefing is not smuggled into the hour.
