Kuwala / Oasis: selected live document checks
9 October 2026

The live station was running release 970dfe6 with the amber-and-graphite
interface and shared Kuwala / Oasis sun mark. Its current PDF trial collection
contained 85 documents. These are two selected development checks, not a
representative evaluation or an accuracy rate for the collection. They do
not establish field usefulness or performance of the complete solar station.

1. A practical battery-monitor question

Question submitted:
@repair What does the battery monitor use to estimate state of charge?

Original document:
Manual – BMV-712 Smart: Battery monitor, Victron Energy.
Rev 19, August 2026. PDF page 22, printed page 18, section 5.1.
https://oasis.kuwala.space/library/documents/victron-bmv712-2026/pdf#page=22
Publisher: https://www.victronenergy.com/battery-monitors/bmv-712-smart

Source quotation:
“The battery monitor continuously measures the current flow in and out of
the battery.”

Observed result: partly supported; explanation needs more precision.

Oasis found the correct manual. Its first bullet explained that the monitor
integrates current flowing in and out over time, with adjustments for the
Peukert effect and charge efficiency. This is supported on PDF page 22.

Its second bullet described voltage, tail-current and detection-time settings
as inputs to calculating state of charge, citing PDF pages 27 and 56.
Those conditions detect full charge and synchronize the estimate to 100%.
They should be distinguished from the parameters used in the charge
calculation, including capacity, Peukert exponent and charge efficiency.

A more precise explanation of that second point is:
Voltage, tail-current and detection-time conditions identify full charge,
allowing the monitor to reset its state-of-charge estimate to 100%.

This check shows why locating the correct source and faithfully explaining
it are separate things to review. It is not recorded as a clean pass.

2. A practical circle-measurement question

Question submitted:
@learning How do I find the circumference of a circle?

Original document:
Math for Trades: Volume 2, Chad Flinn and Mark Overgaard.
BCcampus, 2021. CC BY 4.0 except where otherwise noted.
Publisher: https://opentextbc.ca/mathfortrades2/
https://oasis.kuwala.space/library/documents/bc-maths-trades2-2021/pdf#page=111

The formula appears on PDF page 111 (printed page 97):
“Circumference = π × diameter”

Observed result: both answer statements supported by the cited page.

Oasis gave C = π × D, with D defined as the diameter. It also explained that
if the radius is known, the diameter is twice the radius: D = r × 2.
Both statements cited PDF page 113 (printed page 99), which explicitly
contains the circumference formula and the radius-to-diameter relationship
in a worked example. The original page was visually checked.

The public website adds a simple illustration: a pipe 10 cm in diameter has
a circumference of about 31.4 cm. That illustration is website copy, not
part of the captured Oasis answer.

The screenshot oasis-maths-answer-20261009.jpg records the actual live
response. The chat ready-state and Knowledge catalogue screenshots were
also refreshed from the live service on 9 October 2026.

What these checks leave open

Broader checks still need varied questions, follow-ups, missing information,
difficult PDFs and independent review of source faithfulness. Comparison
with direct PDF use and observation with an intended host are separate next
steps. The earlier 8 October notes retain unsuccessful and partial cases:
