| Expert Transcript Library | Japan

| Interview Date: May 2025

Context

Getting the right expert insight often means high costs and long lead times. Arches’ Expert Transcript Library was designed to solve both challenges, giving clients quick, reliable access to market-quality knowledge while keeping budgets under control.

Key Insights

• Affordable access to expertise: Other services we’ve tried, both foreign and domestic, were significantly more expensive. With Arches, interview costs are roughly half the price, thanks to the option of adding transcripts to the Library.
  
• Reduce mismatches with transcript previews: One challenge with expert networks is that profiles don’t always capture the depth of someone’s expertise. By reviewing past transcripts in Arches’ Knowledge Bank before booking, client can confirm the expert is the right fit.
  

• Beyond interviews, added research value: The Transcript Library isn’t just interviews. It also includes IR coverage articles published every fiscal year. While it doesn’t cover every stock, it’s a valuable complement to our research, saving time and boosting efficiency.

Client Perspective

Q: How can you get quality insights without overspending?

“We had tried other expert network services, both foreign and Japanese, but their fees were almost always higher. With Arches, we discovered we could arrange interviews at roughly half the price. The Transcript Library made it possible to control costs without compromising on quality, which was a huge advantage for our team.”

Q: How can you ensure the expert meets your expectations?

“One of the common frustrations with expert networks is that a profile doesn’t always reflect the real depth of someone’s knowledge. What stood out with Arches was the ability to review past interview transcripts in the Knowledge Bank. It gave us the confidence that the expert we selected would actually deliver the insights we were looking for.”

Q: What additional insights can you gain from the Transcript Library?

“Beyond interviews, the Library also provided IR coverage articles from each fiscal year. It didn’t cover every stock, but it added an extra layer of perspective that complemented our research. It saved us time, reduced mismatches, and gave us a more efficient way to work.”

Outcome

With the Expert Transcript Library, the client streamlined their entire workflow at a lower cost, avoiding mismatches and accelerating access to relevant insights. This efficiency allowed their team to make faster, more confident decisions in evaluating new opportunities.
