Four engagements, each built around a specific question your company needs to answer.
Fixed scope, fixed fee, written deliverable at close. Choose the engagement that matches what you are working on.
Back to homeHow these engagements are structured
Each engagement listed here addresses a distinct planning or analytical question. They differ in duration, in what they produce, and in the type of work they require from your team — but they share the same underlying structure: a defined scope agreed before work begins, a fixed fee that does not change within that scope, and a written deliverable handed to your company at close.
The engagement types are not a menu of services to be combined. Each is a complete piece of work in itself. If your situation calls for more than one, that is a conversation to have — but each engagement can stand alone.

Long-Term Planning Engagement
A structured planning process covering a three- to five-year horizon — where demand is likely to move in the company's sector, what capability would be needed to serve it, and what would have to be committed and when.
Eight weeks with leadership and department heads. Suited to companies whose planning currently extends no further than the coming financial year and who want a written, reviewed basis for the decisions that follow from that horizon.
Written plan with decision points rather than fixed commitments
Sensitivity analysis showing which demand assumptions matter most
Scheduled annual revision process the company can run internally
Follow-up session included in the fee
Engagement 02 · 4 weeks · ¥39,000 JPY
Investment Case Preparation
Support preparing the case for a significant capital commitment — equipment, premises or systems — covering the operational assumptions behind the figures, alternative options including doing nothing, and the conditions under which the investment would not repay.
Four weeks. Intended for companies presenting a proposal to owners or lenders who want the analysis to be thorough rather than optimistic.
Working financial model handed to the client at close
Documented assumptions separating measured figures from estimates
Explicit statement of scenarios in which the case fails
Alternative options including a do-nothing analysis
Engagement 03 · 6 weeks · ¥36,000 JPY
Sustainability Reporting Support
Practical support for companies asked by customers or partners to report on environmental and social matters — covering which frameworks apply at the company's size, what data must be gathered and from where, and how to report accurately without claiming more than the evidence supports.
Six weeks. For companies starting from little or no prior reporting, wanting a process they can maintain internally after the engagement closes.
Data collection process the internal team can maintain going forward
First report drafted with the client team
Clear separation between measured figures and estimates
Framework selection tailored to the company's size and sector
Engagement 04 · 4 weeks · ¥31,000 JPY
Risk Register Development
Construction of a working risk register covering operational, financial, supply, regulatory and key-person exposures — with each item assessed for likelihood, effect and the practical cost of reducing it.
Four weeks with management. For companies that want a clear picture of where they are exposed and a maintained format for keeping that picture current without external support.
Maintained register format covering five exposure categories
Assessment of which risks are worth accepting rather than mitigating
Review schedule the company can follow independently
Likelihood and effect scoring with practical mitigation cost estimates
What a risk register covers
Process failures, system outages, quality incidents
Liquidity, cost exposure, customer concentration
Single-supplier exposure, logistics vulnerabilities
Compliance gaps, anticipated regulatory changes
Succession gaps, knowledge concentration, retention
Which engagement suits which situation
If you are asking…
"Where is this company going over the next five years, and what do we need to decide now?"
If you are asking…
"Is this capital commitment justified, and how do we make the case to our owners or lenders?"
If you are asking…
"Our customers are asking us to report on environmental and social matters — how do we do that accurately?"
If you are asking…
"What are the risks this company is carrying, and which of them are we actually doing something about?"
What every engagement includes, regardless of type
Written scope document
Before any session takes place, the scope of the engagement is written down and agreed. What is in scope, what is out, what the deliverable will contain, and the fee — all confirmed before work begins.
Working sessions with your team
Sessions are structured around your team's knowledge of the company. The analysis is developed together, not delivered as a finished product. This is how your team comes to understand it well enough to maintain it.
Written deliverable at close
The completed work is handed over in a format your company can use and revise. Where the deliverable includes a financial model or register, it is in an editable format your team can update independently.
Assumption documentation
Every deliverable distinguishes between figures that are measured, figures that are estimated, and figures that are assumed. The company knows exactly where the analysis is grounded and where it rests on judgement.
Failure conditions stated
Each deliverable includes explicit conditions under which the analysis would not hold — so the company knows what to watch for and when to revisit the work, rather than treating it as permanently valid.
Follow-up session
After the engagement closes and the team has worked with the deliverable, a follow-up session addresses questions that have emerged. This is included in the stated fee and does not open into further engagement automatically.
Not sure which engagement fits what you are working on?
The initial conversation is the right place to work that out. Describe the question you are trying to answer, and it will be clear whether one of these engagements is suited to it — or whether something else would serve you better.
There is no commitment attached to that conversation and no obligation to proceed.
