Offer 03 — Data Readiness Assessment

Know what condition your documents are actually in

A plain-spoken review of file formats, scan quality, and consistency, before committing to a larger project.

The promise

A clear, written answer to a question that's easy to avoid: are your documents actually in a state that supports this kind of work? Rather than guessing or hoping, this assessment gives you a specific account of what's usable now and what would need attention first.

The problem

It's common to sense that a document collection is "messy" without knowing exactly why, or how much that messiness would slow down a larger project. Formats vary, scans are sometimes hard to read, naming isn't consistent, and nobody's quite sure how much of the material is still current. Starting a bigger build without knowing this first can mean discovering the problem partway through, which costs more time than addressing it up front.

The solution

We examine a sample of up to one thousand of your documents across file formats, scan quality, naming consistency, duplication, and how much of the material appears genuinely current. Where the assessment concludes that a period of tidying should come first, we say so plainly rather than recommending a project regardless.

The experience

You share a representative sample of your documents, and over two weeks we review them against the criteria above. You'll receive a written report and a short conversation to go through the findings together, with no pressure toward any particular next step.

The investment

¥17,500

This covers review of up to one thousand sample documents, a written report naming the specific problems found, an estimate of the preparation effort involved, and a note on which parts of the collection are already usable as they are. The scope runs two weeks.

The proof

The report is built around concrete findings from your own sample — specific file counts, format breakdowns, and named issues — rather than general observations. It's meant to be something you could hand to a colleague and have them understand exactly what state things are in.

The guarantee

This assessment carries no expectation that you'll commission further work afterward. Its purpose is an honest answer, whatever that answer turns out to be.

Next steps

Let us know roughly how many documents you're working with and where they're currently stored. We'll confirm whether a representative sample is straightforward to pull together.
