Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does your service focus on?
We focus on structural risk in AI-generated Japanese.
AI can produce fluent Japanese that appears correct, while still introducing ambiguity in responsibility, obligation, scope, or meaning.
Our role is to identify where that ambiguity exists, how it appears across your content, and how it may affect interpretation or reliability.
2. How is this different from traditional translation review?
This is not a translation review service.
Traditional review evaluates whether a sentence is correct or natural.
We evaluate whether meaning is structurally stable.
Instead of focusing on individual sentences, we identify recurring patterns of ambiguity that may scale across your content and workflows.
3. Do you replace human translators or reviewers?
No.
We complement existing workflows.
Our focus is on identifying structural risk patterns and system-level issues, which supports both AI systems and human reviewers.
4. How much content is needed to get started?
We typically start with a small sample (e.g. 3–5 pages).
This is sufficient to determine whether structural risk may be present and whether further analysis is warranted.
5. Can you handle larger or ongoing projects?
Yes.
After the initial diagnostic, we can analyze larger datasets or support ongoing content generation workflows.
For continuous environments, we also offer ongoing optimization to reduce structural risk over time.
6. What is the difference between the Free Risk Snapshot and the Diagnostic?
The Free Risk Snapshot is a high-level review of a small sample.
Its purpose is to help you determine whether structural risk may be present.
The Diagnostic goes further.
It identifies recurring patterns, evaluates how risk is distributed across your content, and highlights what should be prioritized next.
The snapshot provides visibility.
The diagnostic provides understanding and decision support.
7. What kind of issues do you typically find?
Common structural issues include:
- Cross-lingual interpretation issues (e.g. kanji ambiguity)
- Changes in obligation strength (e.g. mandatory vs optional)
- Missing or unclear responsibility
- Incorrect or unstable scope
- Terminology inconsistency
- Ambiguity in complex sentence structures
8. How do you evaluate risk?
We use a structured framework that classifies error types and assigns severity levels.
Each finding is evaluated based on:
- Severity
- Likelihood of misinterpretation
- Business impact
- Frequency
This allows us to identify not only individual issues, but patterns that may scale across content.
9. What deliverables can we expect?
Deliverables typically include:
- Risk classification
- Severity-based scoring
- Example cases
- Pattern analysis
- Root-cause hypotheses
- Prioritized findings
- Recommendations
The level of detail depends on the scope of the engagement.
10. How long does a diagnostic take?
A focused diagnostic typically takes a few business days to 1–2 weeks, depending on scope.
More comprehensive audits or ongoing engagements follow a separate timeline based on volume and complexity.
11. How is pricing determined?
Pricing is based on scope, complexity, and engagement type.
We offer:
- Free Risk Snapshot (initial visibility)
- Diagnostic (pattern analysis)
- Full Audit (comprehensive evaluation)
- Ongoing Optimization (continuous improvement)
Detailed pricing is provided prior to engagement.
12. Is our data kept confidential?
Yes.
All client materials are treated as confidential and used solely for the purpose of providing services.
13. How do we get started?
You can start by submitting a small sample of AI-generated Japanese content.
We will review it and provide a high-level snapshot of potential structural risk.
14. Do you support languages other than Japanese?
Currently, our primary focus is Japanese due to its structural complexity and risk profile in AI-generated content.
The underlying methodology may be extended to other languages in the future.
15. What is the main benefit of your service?
The main benefit is clarity at the system level.
We help you understand not just whether issues exist, but how they appear, how often they occur, and what should be addressed first.
The goal is not just to improve individual outputs, but to improve the system that produces them.
16. Is this only relevant for translation?
No.
Structural risk can appear wherever Japanese is generated by AI, including:
- content generation
- support responses
- UI text
- summaries
- policy drafts
In many cases, risk is harder to detect when there is no direct source text for comparison.
