A small company doing work that usually needs a department.

Managing Member of TechJapan LLC. Before founding it: IT consulting for publicly listed Japanese companies, then Director and CTO of a company capitalized at over 500 million yen, then CEO of a Thai corporation.

Fifteen years and more than a hundred companies of digital transformation work, most of it in Southeast Asian manufacturing, across IT, finance and accounting, human resources and labor, and production management. Over 1,500 on-site interviews — which is where the conviction behind this company came from: the plans were rarely wrong, and the data underneath them almost always was.

There is no account layer between you and whoever is writing the code. That is a constraint as much as a promise: it bounds how many engagements can run at once, and we would rather turn work down than staff it with strangers.

From JPY 30,000, tax excluded, quoted in writing per agreed scope before work starts. No setup fee, no discovery phase that exists to justify the invoice. If a subsidy applies, we say so, because it lowers your cost rather than ours.

The exit condition is written down before the work starts. A dependency we could have removed and did not is a failure, not an annuity.

Our own product page keeps what is built apart from what is only designed, and the record behind it — the specification, the measurements and the limits — is published in full at h-c.ai. If we are willing to publish that about software we are trying to sell, you can expect the same accounting on your project.
