Editors' review
The source coverage is the moat
International research tools do not index Japanese patents, J-STAGE or ministry reports well. For an R&D team in Japan, that gap is the whole problem, and it is not one a better model solves.
The tacit-knowledge work is consulting with software attached. Budget and plan it as such.
Verdict
Strong fit for Japanese manufacturing R&D. Little reason to look at it otherwise.
