Why EDITION?
AI agents working in Japan hit walls that generic LLMs can't solve:
| Challenge | What goes wrong |
|---|---|
| Keigo (ζ¬θͺ) | γγζγ‘γγγ°εγ°γγγγ¨εγγΎγγ β hidden subject, layered honorifics, uncertainty expression. Generic NLP treats this as noise. |
| Implicit agreements | Japanese business communication rarely states things directly. Agents need cultural decoding. |
| Regulatory maze | 10+ industries with overlapping national/prefectural regulations, most documentation only in Japanese. |
| Procedural complexity | Company incorporation, visa, banking β each requires 5-8 steps with specific documents, deadlines, and costs. |
EDITION provides verified, structured intelligence that agents can use as ground truth instead of hallucinating cultural nuances, legal requirements, and procedural details.
