Yorozu services overview

What we offer

Three services, each with a fixed scope and a fixed fee

Each service is designed for a specific stage of the question: what could automation affect in our work, how do we implement it, and how do we choose between providers. They can be used separately or in sequence.

How these services fit together

Most organisations begin with the Task Review, which produces a register of recurring tasks and a proportionate picture of automation suitability. If that review supports proceeding, the Scheduling Implementation or Vendor Selection Advisory services provide the next step.

They are designed to be used in sequence, but each is also available independently. If your organisation has already conducted an internal review and wants implementation or advisory support at a specific stage, that is a reasonable starting point for a conversation.

Back-office task review service

Service 01

Back-Office Task Review

¥30,000 — Four weeks

A department-level census of recurring administrative tasks. We record the frequency, duration, variability, and the judgment each task requires — working alongside your teams rather than from a questionnaire. The output is a task register and a proportionate breakdown of what automation could and could not affect in your specific departments.

Task register with frequency and duration figures for each recurring task

Three-category classification: suited, partly suited, and not suited to automation

Note on tasks where automation would introduce more risk than it removes

Written register that is yours to retain, regardless of whether further work follows

Service 02

Scheduling System Implementation

¥41,000 — Ten weeks including parallel period

Deployment of automated scheduling for staff rosters, delivery routes, or appointment allocation. Built around your actual constraints — contractual hours, skill coverage requirements, individual preferences — not a generic template. Includes a parallel running period where automated and manual schedules run alongside each other before any transition is finalised.

Constraints documented and agreed before any build begins

Manual override retained throughout — by design, not as an afterthought

Parallel period with comparison figures covering schedule quality and preparation time

Documentation in terms your own team can read, maintain, and update

Vendor selection advisory service

Service 03

Vendor Selection Advisory

¥34,000 — Five weeks

Independent support for organisations choosing between competing tool providers. We help define requirements before contacting vendors, set evaluation criteria that reflect your needs rather than what providers demonstrate well, run structured trials using your own material, and review contract terms — including data ownership and exit provisions — before you sign.

Written evaluation matrix you retain, regardless of which provider you choose

Notes on the questions each provider answered indirectly or deflected

Contract review covering data ownership and exit provisions before signing

No commercial relationship with any vendor under consideration

Where to start

Which service is the right starting point

If you are at the start

You are considering automation but do not yet have a clear picture of which tasks in your departments would actually benefit. Vendor proposals have arrived and you are uncertain how to evaluate them.

The Task Review is the right place to begin.

Task Review →

If you have a specific problem

Scheduling is taking significant management time each week. You know the problem, you know the general approach, and you need implementation support that is built around your constraints rather than a generic template.

The Scheduling Implementation is the right fit.

Scheduling →

If you are choosing a provider

Proposals have arrived from several vendors. You want to evaluate them against consistent criteria using your own material, and you want to review the contract terms before committing — with someone who has no interest in which vendor you choose.

The Vendor Selection Advisory is what you need.

Vendor Advisory →

Across all services

What every engagement includes

Fixed fee, agreed in advance

The fee is agreed before work begins and does not change if the work takes longer than anticipated. We absorb that risk.

No vendor alignment

We hold no commercial relationships with tool providers. Our findings are not shaped by what any platform needs us to recommend.

Output you retain

Every engagement produces a written artefact you keep — register, documentation, or matrix — regardless of what follows.

Honest findings

If the evidence does not support proceeding, we say so. We do not propose additional work to soften a finding that does not support implementation.

Get in touch

Not sure which service fits your situation? A short conversation is usually enough to find out

There is no commitment involved in reaching out. We can talk through where you are and whether any of these services would be a sensible fit — and if not, we will say so.
