TEAM · ABOUT

Decision support
for SMEs, in writing.

A Tokyo-based team. We understand Japanese SME operating culture from the inside, and bring international analytical methods to bear on your monthly decisions. Our members hold experience across both domestic and global firms — we apply that combination to your business every month.

OUR PRINCIPLE

Consistent quality, every month.

The person writing your report is the same one responding to your initial inquiry and the same one running your monthly analysis. Your business context accumulates with us, month over month.

The value comes from applying deep sector experience to your specific numbers. "We've seen this exact pattern in a different industry — here's how it resolved." "This anomaly will look like this in three months." Judgments like these only come from real time on the ground.

What you need is excellent decision material. We deliver it, in writing, every month.

WHAT WE BRING

What we've actually done.

Below are the domains the team has worked in directly. The understanding gained in each shows up in your monthly report.

M&A

Inside acquisitions and exits

We've actually run due diligence. The metrics that don't make it into the financials, the unexplained anomalies, the gap between numbers and operational reality — we've spent years reading businesses that way, from the buyer's perspective. We bring that lens into your monthly report.

CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT

Building from the inside

Time spent inside listed-company corp dev, growing businesses from within. Defining what "cleanly organized" actually means and structuring the metrics that prove it — we've done that work, and now apply it scaled-down to SMEs like yours.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

Inside professional practices

We've operated inside law firms, accounting practices, and medical groups. The unique challenge of these businesses — where the principal is also the practitioner, so operational numbers get postponed — is something we've solved on the ground, not just observed.

OUR VALUES

What we hold to.

01

Depth over breadth

Going deep on each engagement, not wide. Every report gets the analysis time it needs to be genuinely useful as decision material.

02

Numbers over impressions

"Roughly speaking" doesn't cut it. Every claim in our reports ties to a calculable number.

03

Reports designed to be read

No 40-page strategy decks. Three priorities up front, with the full analysis behind them — a complete report structured to actually be read. Being read is the precondition for change.

04

Time as the rarest resource

A business leader's time is the rarest resource. Minimize meetings, maximize the report. That's our design.
