Institutional-quality Japan market intelligence. Delivered in 5–15 business days. Not months.
Generic market reports tell you the market is "large and growing." We tell you which companies to partner with, which segments to avoid, and why 70% of independent Japan entries fail in year two.
Validated TAM, addressable segments, and growth drivers with Japan-specific data — not global averages.
Named Japanese and foreign competitors, estimated revenues, product weaknesses, and where the gaps are.
Who to sell to first, decision-maker profiles, ACV expectations, and realistic sales cycle lengths.
Named SIs, resellers, and distribution partners — with commentary on how to approach each one.
Cultural, regulatory, and competitive risks ranked by severity — with mitigation strategies for each.
Bull / Base / Bear case projections with assumptions, so your board can stress-test the investment case.

Pay per report. No subscriptions, no lock-in. Most clients start with Starter to validate, then return for Standard.

I spent 20 years at Sumitomo Corporation, one of Japan's five major general trading companies (sogo shosha), working across commodity trade, cross-border investment evaluation, and business development in global markets.
That career taught me something that no consulting firm can replicate: how decisions actually get made in Japan. Not the official process — the real one. Who controls budget. Which relationships open doors. Why certain deals die in committee even when the numbers work.
I founded Blueshift Japan LLC to make that knowledge available to global companies in a format that's fast, affordable, and actionable — without the overhead of a traditional consulting engagement.
