Services & fees

Twelve services. Three classes, never mixed.

Verification produces a public claim. Assurance produces an internal or buyer-facing report. Advisory produces neither — and we do not sell it, because doing so would disqualify the other two.

Class I — Verification (public claims)

Correction to an earlier figure. The methodology file once stated a verification fee of ¥15,000 per site. That number was set before an accredited body existed and cannot support ISO 14065-level verification: a full batch engagement is 5–7 person-days. The 28,000 above is 6 person-days at ¥3,800 plus insurance and administration, and is auditable.
Process

Ten working days, four stages

Every stage has a defined output. If a stage cannot be closed, the engagement stops there and you are billed for time, not for a conclusion.

Not sure which class you need?

Scoping is free and takes one call. If the data cannot support a defensible claim, we will say so before an invoice exists.
