Evidence before inference
The report says what was confirmed, not what someone hoped the answer meant.
Choose the smallest path that gets a reliable answer.
A phone call is not automatically the next step. Start with the channel, language ability and repeat volume you already have.
Email first
The organization publishes a working written route and the answer can be documented there.

How the pilot works.
The human fit gate protects both sides: the requester knows exactly what is being bought, and the organization receives a transparent, limited inquiry.

Questions
Before you send a brief.
Does sending the form book a call?
No. The form securely emails the request to JapanOps and sends you a receipt. Submission requests a fit review only. A project begins after the exact scope, exclusions, quote and timing are agreed in writing and payment is confirmed.
Will JapanOps pretend to be me or my company?
No. JapanOps identifies itself and states the factual purpose of the call. The service does not impersonate the requester or make unauthorized commitments.
What happens if nobody answers or the organization will not confirm the information?
The written scope names the attempt limit before payment. If no relevant person is reached after the agreed attempts, you receive an attempt log and a 50% refund of the standard service fee. If someone is reached but the information is unavailable or declined, that is reported as not confirmed and the completed inquiry is not converted into a guaranteed answer.
Can JapanOps reserve a hotel, restaurant, ticket or appointment?
No. This pilot is limited to factual inquiries. Reservations, bookings, purchases, negotiation and regulated travel arrangements are excluded.
What does a Japanese phone inquiry usually cost?
The current pilot guide is US$75–150 for one organization, up to three factual questions, up to two agreed attempts and a written fact report. The fit review is free. The exact scope and quote are confirmed before payment, with no automatic rush fee or hidden extra.
Can I receive the call recording?
You may request a US$35 recording add-on. JapanOps explains the purpose and records only if the person called explicitly agrees and the organization permits it. If permission is refused or recording is unavailable, the written-report service may continue and the recording add-on is refunded in full. JapanOps deletes its audio copy 14 days after delivery.
Does my requested reply date guarantee delivery?
No. It helps JapanOps assess fit and scheduling. The accepted delivery timing is the date and time zone confirmed in the written scope before payment. If a firm dependency cannot be met, JapanOps declines rather than promising an unrealistic deadline.
