What This Advisory Does Not Provide

Clarity in advisory work comes from clear boundaries.

This page outlines what this advisory does not offer,

so that expectations are aligned from the start

and decision-making remains objective and independent.

No sales agency or distribution

I do not act as a sales agent, distributor, or reseller for any product or brand.

This advisory does not include:

  • Sales representation in Japan
  • Distribution, wholesale, or retail arrangements
  • Commission-based introductions or referral fees

My role is to support your decision-making, not to participate in downstream sales activities.

No implementation or operational outsourcing

This advisory does not provide execution services.

That includes:

  • Website or e-commerce development
  • Marketing execution or campaign management
  • Day-to-day operations or local staffing

I remain independent from implementation so that advice is not influenced by delivery constraints, tool choices, or agency incentives.

No revenue-based or success-fee contracts

This advisory focuses only on Japan.

I do not provide:

  • Comparative analysis between Japan and other markets
  • Regional prioritization across Asia, Europe, or the United States

If you are seeking a multi-country comparison, this advisory is not the right fit.

The purpose here is to help you decide whether Japan itself makes sense for your business.

No revenue-based or success-fee contracts

I do not offer:

  • Revenue-sharing arrangements
  • Success-fee or outcome-guaranteed contracts

Advisory work is scoped and compensated independently to ensure objective judgment and unbiased recommendations.

Why these boundaries exist

These boundaries are intentional. They exist to:

  • Maintain independence
  • Avoid conflicts of interest
  • Keep advice focused on decision quality

This structure allows you to engage agencies, vendors, or internal teams with clarity and confidence after key decisions have been made.

If you are unsure whether this fits


If you are uncertain whether this advisory is appropriate for your situation, that uncertainty itself is often a good reason to have a conversation.
