PRINCIPLES
How we hold ourselves
01
We will tell you when to stop.
If scoping shows the opportunity does not hold, we say so and explain why. Continuing would be better for our revenue and worse for you.
02
Durations are given as ranges.
Nepali administrative timelines vary with sector and with how ready the documentation is. We do not promise fixed dates; we give ranges and name what moves them.
03
Reporting is in Japanese, on Japan's cycle.
Monthly reports, in a format that can go into an internal approval process, at the level of detail a decision actually requires.
04
We verify anyone we introduce.
Candidate partners are checked for registration, real operations and commercial standing before their name reaches you.
05
We explain how fees work before you ask.
Scoping at a fixed fee, execution by milestone, operational support on a retainer, separated by phase so you can stop at any boundary.
