EXTERNAL AI STRATEGY DEPARTMENT

External AI Strategy Department

JPY 50,000 per month, excluding tax. A partner who follows AI developments, tests ideas within A&A, and helps you decide what matters for your business.

YOUR AI PARTNER

From keeping up with AI to your next business decision.

Beyond sharing information, we connect it with your situation and the decisions ahead.

01

Follow AI and test it ourselves

We research AI developments and test ideas in our own workflows, distinguishing firsthand experience from external reports and explaining what matters for your business.

“How could recent AI developments change our work?”
02

Explore the implications

Consider changes through your products, customers, and workflows. We discuss opportunities and impacts while distinguishing current evidence from hypotheses about the future.

“Does this development matter to our business?”
03

Think through business decisions

From everyday questions to service ideas and investment choices, we clarify options and decision criteria so you can choose a next step that fits your business.

“What should we try now, and what can wait?”
04

Connect decisions to implementation

When a system is needed, we turn the purpose and completion criteria into design and development. The business context carries through; implementation scope and cost are agreed separately.

“Will an existing tool work, or should we build?”

AI STRATEGY DEPARTMENT

Your external AI strategy team. JPY 50,000 per month.

Excluding tax / Delivery Department: from JPY 300,000 per month

Discuss strategy support

What the Strategy Department covers

  • AI research and lessons from our own practice
  • Discussing AI direction, business strategy, and service ideas
  • Reviewing priorities and decisions

What we agree before starting

We agree on communication channels, consultation frequency, and expected response times based on your needs. For development and improvements, we agree on scope and completion criteria through the Delivery Department.

You can start with strategy support and move to the Delivery Department once you know what to build.

If you do not get results, we refund you. What counts as a result is agreed project by project before you sign a contract.

FOUNDER / BUILDER

Build at A&A. Share what we learn.

We build AI into our own research, publishing, sales, and development, then improve it through use. We share what has been checked and what still needs work, and design workflows for your business.

FAQ

Before we talk.

All questions
Can I talk to you before I know what to ask for?

Yes. You can start with “I want to use AI, but I do not know where to begin.” We discuss your business and questions, then explore possibilities and priorities together.

What is included in the first consultation?

In a meeting of about 45 to 60 minutes (you choose when booking), we discuss your business, issues, AI possibilities, and priorities. Business strategy and the implications of AI are also in scope. Afterward, you receive a concise summary of the discussion. The first consultation is free.

How do the two monthly plans differ?

The AI Strategy Department costs JPY 50,000 per month for AI research, lessons from our own practice, business discussions, and priorities. The AI Delivery Department starts at JPY 300,000 per month and adds development and improvements within the agreed scope. Both prices exclude tax.

What if we do not get results?

If you do not get results, we refund you. What counts as a result is agreed project by project before you sign a contract.
