Findings are ordered by what puts the submission at risk rather than by what is easiest to fix.<\/p>\r\n<p>What it is not: it does not rebuild your study, produce a new model, or replace a full critical review under ISO 14071, and it is not verification.

DEISO does not build or rebuild a model inside advisory hours; when a question turns out to need real execution, you are told so and it becomes a scoped piece of work rather than hours quietly absorbing a project.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"fq-sub\">Pricing<\/p>\r\n<p>Rates published on the website include 10% tax.

A footprint built for internal decisions or a customer questionnaire cannot be turned into a public competitor claim afterwards without redoing the parts that were never set up to be comparable &mdash; and the same applies to comparing your figure against a competitor&rsquo;s published EPD, which was built to a different PCR or boundary more often than not.<\/p>\r\n<p>DEISO will tell you early whether the claim you want is supportable, what it would take to support it, and where a weaker but defensible statement gets you the same commercial result with far less exposure.

A multi-site or multi-product study, an EPD that has to follow a PCR, or a Scope 3 inventory that needs supplier engagement sits at the longer end, and an external verification step adds the verifier&rsquo;s own timeline on top.<\/p>\r\n<p>Every engagement is given a dated schedule at proposal stage, with the points where DEISO needs something from your side marked, since those are what move a deadline.

It is establishing what you actually have to report and to whom &mdash; a customer, a tender, a regulator, an investor, or an internal decision &mdash; because that sets the boundary, the standard and the evidence rules. From there, DEISO identifies what data exists inside your systems already, which is usually more than people expect, what has to be collected, and who inside the organisation has to own each piece.<\/p>\r\n<p>That can be built as a first scoped piece of work, as a Sustainability Operating System from the start so the second cycle is not another rescue project, or as training that puts the capability inside your team.<\/p>\r\n<p>If you are not sure which of those applies, describe the situation in Mirai&rsquo;s Analysis mode or book the Free Technical Evaluation &mdash; including when the honest answer is that you need a smaller piece of work than you thought, or nothing yet.<\/p><\/div>\r\n        <\/details>\r\n\r\n        <details class=\"fq-item\" id=\"fq-2-9\" data-group=\"g2\">\r\n          <summary class=\"fq-q\">\r\n            <span class=\"fq-chev\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path d=\"M6 9l6 6 6-6\"\/><\/svg><\/span>\r\n            <span class=\"fq-qtext\">What happens if the verifier or the customer comes back with comments?<\/span>\r\n          <\/summary>\r\n          <div class=\"fq-a\"><p>Reviewer and customer comments are expected, not a failure.

A program runs for one person or for a group. Training starts as soon as the schedule is confirmed &mdash; and, for remote training, as soon as payment is received. For on-site and off-site training, the start is confirmed once the arrangements and payment terms are agreed. One person is enough to open a program.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"fq-sub\">Scheduling<\/p>\r\n<p>Every program is booked on demand, one-to-one or one-to-group. The date is set between the trainee&rsquo;s or trainees&rsquo; availability and the expert trainer&rsquo;s. DEISO can propose several schedule options &mdash; A, B, C &mdash; and you choose, regardless of the time-zone difference.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"fq-sub\">Training in Japan<\/p>\r\n<p>All DEISO training delivered in Tokyo runs Monday to Friday, five business days, as a fixed duration. Japanese national holidays are excluded, and the start day is set only after the holiday calendar for that period has been checked, so the five days run without interruption.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"fq-sub\">Format<\/p>\r\n<p>Remote over Zoom, on-site at your facilities, or off-site in Japan. Some programs are on-site or off-site only.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"fq-sub\">Trainers<\/p>\r\n<p>All programs are delivered by PhD-level experts in the field.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"fq-sub\">Pricing<\/p>\r\n<p>All prices published on the website are for remote, online training delivered over Zoom. Off-site training and training in Japan are considerably more expensive and are quoted separately. Published prices exclude 10% tax, and exclude the optional examination and certification fees, which appear on the quotation only when requested and are also subject to 10% tax.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"fq-sub\">Payment<\/p>\r\n<p>Remote training: payment in advance confirms the booking. Training in Japan: typically payment in advance. On-site and off-site training: payment terms handled case by case.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"fq-sub\">Certificate<\/p>\r\n<p>The examination and certificate are optional and charged separately. The certificate recognises completion of the DEISO program and its assessment; it is not a formal accreditation, and DEISO is not a certification body.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"fq-sub\">To book<\/p>\r\n<p>Send the team size, the level, the software environment and what the team needs to be able to do afterwards, and you get a quotation with schedule options attached.<\/p><\/div>\r\n        <\/details>\r\n\r\n        <details class=\"fq-item\" id=\"fq-5-4\" data-group=\"g5\">\r\n          <summary class=\"fq-q\">\r\n            <span class=\"fq-chev\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path d=\"M6 9l6 6 6-6\"\/><\/svg><\/span>\r\n            <span class=\"fq-qtext\">What is the cancellation and rescheduling policy for training?<\/span>\r\n          <\/summary>\r\n          <div class=\"fq-a\"><p class=\"fq-sub\">Remote training (online, over Zoom)<\/p>\r\n<p>Payment is made in full in advance and confirms the booking. Once confirmed, bookings cannot be cancelled and payments are final &mdash; no refunds, in whole or in part, including for non-attendance or partial attendance. One reschedule is allowed at no charge if requested at least 5 business days before the start date; later than that, or a second reschedule, is treated as a new booking.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"fq-sub\">Training in Japan (off-site, Tokyo)<\/p>\r\n<p>100% of the quotation is payable in advance. The booking is confirmed only when payment is received, since the trainer, the dates and the learning environment are reserved against it.<\/p>\r\n<p>Cancellation or postponement notice must reach DEISO in writing. The charge depends on when it arrives:<\/p>\r\n<ul class=\"page-list\">\r\n  <li><span class=\"li-key\">30 calendar days or more before the start<\/span> &mdash; 25% of the quotation is payable<\/li>\r\n  <li><span class=\"li-key\">10 to 29 calendar days before the start<\/span> &mdash; 50% of the quotation is payable<\/li>\r\n  <li><span class=\"li-key\">9 calendar days or less (7 business days), or no notice<\/span> &mdash; 100% of the quotation is payable<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Where payment terms have been agreed at 30 days, or fall due after the training start, the same charges apply as a debt: failing to notify DEISO at least 9 calendar days (7 business days) before the start makes 100% of the quotation payable, whether or not the training takes place and whether or not an invoice has yet been issued.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"fq-sub\">On-site training (at your facilities, any country)<\/p>\r\n<p>The same notice periods and charges as training in Japan. In addition, all travel, accommodation and venue costs already committed at the time of cancellation are payable in full on top of the applicable percentage, since those are third-party bookings DEISO cannot recover.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"fq-sub\">In every case<\/p>\r\n<p>Non-attendance, late arrival or partial attendance does not reduce the fee. If DEISO cancels or postpones for any reason, you are offered new dates or a full refund of everything paid, at your choice. Where a genuine force majeure event prevents delivery &mdash; travel restriction, natural disaster, or similar &mdash; both sides agree new dates rather than a cancellation charge.<\/p><\/div>\r\n        <\/details>\r\n\r\n        <details class=\"fq-item\" id=\"fq-5-5\" data-group=\"g5\">\r\n          <summary class=\"fq-q\">\r\n            <span class=\"fq-chev\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path d=\"M6 9l6 6 6-6\"\/><\/svg><\/span>\r\n            <span class=\"fq-qtext\">I lost my training certificate, or I cannot access it.

A chart is regenerated from the underlying data, so nothing in a visual exists that is not in the model behind it.<\/p>\r\n<p>AI is also used for structured analysis, cross-checking data, service routing and decision support. It is an assistive layer over work a named practitioner owns.<\/p>\r\n<p>That boundary exists because of how verification works. A verifier asks why a figure is what it is, and the answer has to trace back to a dataset, an assumption and a person who made a defensible choice.

Access to the people who actually know how the process runs, usually for a small number of focused sessions rather than standing meetings. Decisions that are yours to make, such as which products are in scope and what the output has to satisfy.

For some projects you do: where the work is delivered in openLCA and the study depends on a commercial background database, the client purchases that database licence in their own name.

For any of these, send it to info@dei.so with enough detail to judge the fit, rather than through the standard project route.\"\r\n      }\r\n    }\r\n  ]\r\n}\r\n<\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-97a3d6c elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"97a3d6c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All sections All sections What DEISO is and how it works Technical work and review How an engagement runs Price, contracting, and payment Software, databases, and ownership Training and capacity building Platforms, tools, and AI Partners, institutions, and careers Type a question or a keyword.
