Neutral Advisory
in the Digital Era
Why do we need a third-party advisory firm now?
Digital investments are important management decisions for organizations, but it is not easy to objectively verify their validity and results. Many organizations lack internal personnel with specialized knowledge and face challenges in basing investment decisions and measuring results.
In addition, vendors and consultants make proposals based on their own solutions and methodologies, making it difficult to expect a completely neutral perspective. This can lead to risks such as inherently suboptimal choices and overinvestment.
JDACs provide reviews based on professionalism and objectivity, independent of specific interests. This increases transparency in an organization’s digital investments and supports an environment in which management can make decisions with confidence.

DDIM™
Decision Data Integrity Model
DDIM is JDACs unique decision-making integrity verification method,
designed to visualize the quality of decisions
and ensure accountability to society.
Proving the ‘legitimacy’ of decisions with mathematical,
rather than sensory, proofs — a unique architecture.
Structured Concepts of Decision Making
Decision-making is viewed as a graph structure (network) with “arguments” at the top. By visualizing the logical framework rather than numerical calculations, we identify “omissions” and “gaps” in the discussion.
Evaluation Process
It is executed in a series of systematized steps, from organizing and structuring information, to multifaceted quality assessment, to making integrated decisions, and to presenting areas for improvement.
Three challenges facing corporate decision-making
- Personalization
- Assessing the legitimacy of decisions
- Difficulties in accountability and auditing
