Your Blueprint for
Japan Market Leadership
Enter Japan with Data, Not Guesswork
An AI-enhanced, evidence-based ecosystem for global brands to evaluate, enter, and scale in Japan.
Japan Entry Intelligence Platform™ (JEIP)
JEIP is the integrated system that powers your market entry, combining real-time AI Diagnostics with veteran Execution Strategy.
We flipped the traditional consulting model. Instead of months of theoretical research, JEIP guides you through a sequenced, validated pathway:
J-Market™ Free (Diagnostic): Instant, AI-driven assessment of your brand's cultural fit, pricing logic, and regulatory risks.
J-Market™ Premium (Blueprint): Your strategic brain. Includes Market Analysis, Competitor Tear-downs, 10-Channel Cost Structures, and a 90-Day Launch Draft.
J-Launch™ (Execution): Your operational arsenal. Generates the critical assets needed for deal-making: Tactical Planning (Crowdfunding vs. Trade), localized Pitch Decks, Packaging SOPs, and Compliance Checklists.
J-Mapping™ (Access): Direct connection to our vetted network of Japanese distributors and retail buyers using your validated assets.
This prevents the "strategy built on assumptions" failure pattern. JEIP helps global brands move from "Is Japan worth it?" to "We have a validated Command Center and real traction" in weeks, not months.
Target Audience: Designed for Founders and CMOs who demand:
Instant Visibility: Know your scores on pricing and compliance immediately.
Systematic Execution: No black-box consulting; just actionable blueprints and assets.
Credible Activation: Direct access to vetted Japanese buyers.
J-Market™ Free:
The Initial Market Signal Is Japan worth the investment?
Before committing capital or resources, leadership teams need clarity—not a generic, lengthy report, but a sharp, evidence-based signal.
Powered by our proprietary AI, J-Market™ Free delivers a 5-minute strategic audit that identifies:
Structural Fit: Does your current pricing model survive Japan’s cost structure?
Cultural Friction: Where does your brand story risk getting lost in translation?
Regulatory Blockers: The invisible compliance hurdles most likely to stall your launch.
Advance / Pause Guidance: A clear, data-backed verdict on your next move.
No noise. No inflated projections. Just the hard evidence needed to decide if Japan deserves a place on your roadmap.
For: Founders, GMs, and CMOs evaluating Japan as a growth vector.
From Guesswork to Blueprint. Secure Your Profit Model This Week.
Body: If Japan is worth pursuing, the next major risk is committing capital based on wrong assumptions.
J-Market™ Premium converts complex market data into a clear, actionable Strategic Framework. It allows your team to master the business logic of Japan without needing to study the market from scratch.
You receive:
Precise Market Data: TAM/SAM/SOM market size analysis and Target Persona definition.
Clear Competitive Positioning: Your Japan Positioning and SWOT defined through a tear-down of Top 3 competitors.
Specific Gap Analysis: Identifying the exact gaps and opportunities between your product and market incumbents.
Real Financial Models: A calculated Cost Structure breakdown for Amazon, Rakuten, and Loft (offline channels).

J-Market™ Premium gives your team a clean, validated Strategic Starting Point—before major spend, hires, or distributor negotiations begin.
J-Launch™ — Operational, Tactical, Deployable
Once the strategic blueprint is defined, leadership needs more than a roadmap—you need the assets to execute. J-Launch™ provides the operational infrastructure required to move from "planning" to "market entry."
J-Launch™ delivers:

Communication Concepts: Structuring the Pitch Deck Logic and narrative flow aligned with Japanese business expectations.

Compliance Checklists: Step-by-step guides for PSE, JFSL, and regulatory hurdles to prevent customs seizures.
A Live 12-Week Gantt Chart: A coordinated action timeline designed for staged, controlled progress.
J-Launch™ gives your team the "Execution Arsenal" needed to seamlessly hand off to J-Mapping™ and start closing deals.

Japan entry should be sequenced: Validated first, Planned second, Executed third.
Most brands begin with J-Market™ Free to confirm the initial market signal, then upgrade to J-Market™ Premium to construct the financial and strategic blueprint.
Once internal commitment and resourcing are clear, they move into J-Launch™ to build the operational infrastructure and execution assets, finally activating sales channels via J-Mapping™.
