    The entry-level checks run about a week; full readiness reviews and research take two to three. Day-rate support is scheduled per project. If you are on a deadline, say so — small practice, flexible calendar.
  • How do contracts and payment work?
    Free 15-minute call → written scope and quote → a simple services agreement → delivery → invoice. Everything in writing, in English or Japanese.
  • Can you sign an NDA?
    Yes — yours or ours, from the first conversation onward.
  • Do we need to speak Japanese to work with you?
    No. The founder is fully bilingual; every meeting, report, and deliverable can be in English.
