We are pleased to announce that our CEO, Ryosuke Takahagi, has established the Japan Digital Advisory Council for Strategy (JDACs), a vendor-neutral third-party advisory organization supporting DX, AI, and data utilization for corporations, local governments, and educational institutions. He has assumed the position of Representative Director.

■ Background and Significance of Establishment

Digital investment is now a critical theme directly linked to the core of business management.
However, alongside the acceleration and sophistication of DX—including AI and data utilization—
we are seeing situations where “implementation itself” becomes the goal, resulting in projects that fail to deliver tangible outcomes.

Requirement definition, ROI verification, PoC evaluation, architecture design, security, legal compliance, operational frameworks, ethics.
Making decisions that holistically assess these factors and fulfill accountability is no easy task.

In this environment,
there is a growing need for an organization that can verify the validity of decisions and provide advice from a third-party perspective, independent of specific vendors or vested interests.

JDACs was established to respond to this societal demand.

The council upholds the three principles of “Neutrality, Verification, and Implementation,”
and its mission is to enhance transparency and acceptability in digital investments.

■Main Activities

JDACs plans the following initiatives:

1. Third-party review (second opinion) for DX/AI/data utilization
・Verification of business strategy, requirement validity, contract terms, ROI, and architecture
・Issuance of evaluation scorecards for proposals, requirement specifications, and PoC plans
・Presentation of executive summaries and actionable improvement plans for operational teams

2. Advisory Certification System (JDACs Certification)
Visualizes advisory capability and review proficiency through a unique three-tier design:
・L: Literacy (Foundational Literacy)
・A: Advisory (Practical Advice)
・R: Review (Audit Oversight)
Comprehensive evaluation through written exams, practical assignments, interviews, and continuing professional development (CPD)

3. Development and Publication of Guidelines/Standard References
・Ethics and Governance for Generative AI Utilization
・Data Quality/Measurement Metrics (KPIs, CMP)
・Privacy/Security/Compliance

4. Planning and Operation of Study Groups, Courses, and Annual Awards
・Case Studies for Executives and Practitioners
・JDACs Quality Awards (Evaluation of Quality and Outcomes)
・Publication of Annual White Papers

■ About Jointly Developed Technology (Patent Pending)

Currently, our company Massive Act and the Japan Digital Advisory Strategy Council (JDACs) are jointly applying for a patent for our proprietary AI technology, “DDIM™ (Decision Data Integrity Model)”, which scores the validity and transparency of decision-making.

DDIM™ is an algorithm that quantitatively evaluates the decision-making process from multiple perspectives—ROI, risk, ethics, operational appropriateness, etc.—to support rational judgment and accountability.
quantitatively evaluates decision-making processes from multiple perspectives—including ROI, risk, ethics, and operational appropriateness—
to support rational judgment and accountability.

As a foundational technology embodying JDACs’ principles of neutrality and evidence-based practice,
we plan future integration with third-party review systems and advisory certification programs.

■Comment from the Representative Director
The essence of DX lies not in the technology itself,
but in the “quality of decision-making that leads to results.”
We will provide verification-based advisory services centered on neutrality and evidence-based approaches,
supporting the enhancement of Japan’s digital investment quality.
We will continue our challenges toward value creation.
We sincerely appreciate your continued support.
