Accountability
People are accountable
We ask to be judged on the quality of what we deliver. To protect it, people and AI agents have clearly separated roles, and every stage of a project has its own review step.
Before anything is delivered, a person carries out the final review. People set the direction and are accountable for the result. The more AI is used in the work, the more important human review and accountability become.
Unit of work
Estimates in person-months
Estimates and invoices itemize the work in person-months for each area of expertise, for example 0.5 person-months of design direction and 1.0 of frontend engineering.
Third-party costs a project needs, such as AI model and cloud usage, are explained and agreed in advance, then billed at cost. Invoices are issued as qualified invoices under Japan's invoice system.
