In the first 30 minutes, we hear how you use AI today, what is getting in the way and which proposals are in progress, then sort out what the advisory work should help you decide.
There is no one in-house you can easily ask about using AI
A vendor has proposed an AI system, but you have no clear criteria to judge it by
You cannot settle on rules for using AI at work, or on what to try next
01Someone to ask (message us in chat about using AI and what to do next)
02A list of decisions to make (written in the first meeting and updated at every meeting)
03Proposal reviews (as part of the meetings and chat, we go through vendor proposals and quotes and send back questions to ask and points to watch)
04A three-month review (what was decided, what remains, and what to do next)
These are examples of deliverables. Scope and fees are agreed after we hear from you.
Timeline and scope
How the first three months run
Meetings are online, 60 minutes each, once a month or once a week (see “What we can change for you” below). In between, ask us in chat.
Start of month 1
Start of month 1: Understand where you are
In the first meeting, we hear how you use AI, what is getting in the way and which proposals are in progress, and list together what you want to decide over the three months.
Decided together
Months 1–3
Months 1–3: Answer your questions
We answer questions in chat and work through the list of decisions, one at a time, in the meetings.

Whenever a proposal arrives
Whenever a proposal arrives: Compare proposals
When a proposal comes in, we compare vendor proposals and quotes on scope, cost and risk, and send back the questions you should ask.

End of month 3
End of month 3: Look back and decide
We sum up what was decided and what remains, and you decide whether to continue or change plans.
You decide
What we can change for you
Meetings
The monthly-meeting plan or the weekly-meeting plan. Either way, 60 minutes each, online
Chat
The same on both plans. Replies within one business day
Continuing
You can stop or switch plans at the start of a month, even during the first three months. From month 4, continue month by month
What we ask of you
One main contact (to arrange meetings and gather the documents you share)
Proposals and documents for us to review, shared once we agree on how to handle them
What stays the same in every case
We do not push any particular product or vendor, and take no referral fees
You make the decisions
Doing the work itself (development, writing documents) is not part of the advisory work. We quote for it separately if needed
Example (illustrative)
When a vendor has proposed an AI system
This is an illustrative example we put together, not a past project.
Starting point
Two vendors have proposed an AI chatbot, but there are no clear criteria for comparing them
During the three months
We send back questions to ask about each proposal, and talk through how to set internal rules in the meetings
After month 3
You choose one vendor and continue on the monthly-meeting plan
How we work and fees
From first call to agreeing the scope
You can start even if some things are undecided. We decide them together as we go.
01Talk to us (30 min, free)
We hear where you are, what's in the way, and your deadline. Our founder takes the call.
02Set the scope and estimate
We agree on the scope together, then give you the final cost and timeline.
Fee guide (excl. tax)
¥100,000 / month
With a weekly meeting: ¥300,000 / month
About 3 months
The first price is the monthly-meeting plan; the second is the weekly-meeting plan. Chat is the same on both.
Talk to us about your plan and quote
Tell us where you are now, and we decide the plan and quote together. Our founder replies personally within one business day.
If anything else is on your mind, just ask during the conversation.
How soon do you reply in chat?▾
Within one business day.
How many people can join the chat?▾
There is no limit. We ask you to name one main contact.
Can we stop or switch plans partway through?▾
Yes. You can stop or switch plans at the start of a month, even during the first three months. From month 4, you continue month by month.
How is this different from hands-on AI support?▾
The advisor answers your questions. Hands-on AI support builds tools with you in working sessions about twice a month.
Can you also do development or write documents?▾
They are not part of the advisory work; we quote for development separately. Your rules for using AI at work are written by your team, and we advise on how to decide them and on your drafts.
Can I ask before requirements are decided?▾
Yes. No requirements document is needed. In the first conversation we sort out the work you want to improve and the first scope to try.
If I talk to you, do I have to place an order?▾
A conversation alone is fine.
How much does it cost?▾
See the Fee guide. Once we agree on the scope together, we give you the formal cost and timeline.
When should I share confidential material?▾
Please share it after we agree how to handle it. We can sign an NDA at the timing you prefer.
How is code or data you receive handled with AI services?▾
