// Advisory

Know Japan before you commit to it.

Advisory is where a Japan entry gets pressure-tested. Score your product's readiness, find where a Japanese buyer will push back on control and residency, and plan the move before you commit budget to it.

// How advisory works

From entry plan to readiness to the bar your buyers set. Four steps, taken in order.

Plan the entry

Sequence your Japan move: the channel, presales, localization, and support model Japanese enterprise buyers expect before they sign.

// AI safety

Safety is part of the same review.

The AI Guidelines for Business Ver1.2 put human judgment inside the design, and a Japanese buyer will ask you to show where it sits. We cover that in advisory, alongside what guards the input, what guards the output, and what leaves with the customer at the end.
