I spent 30 years on the construction site. Now I build the tools that let the buyer check the price for themselves.
Founder of The HORIZONs K.K., building HORIZON SHIELD: buyer-side construction-cost verification you can recompute, not just trust.
Don't take their word. Recompute it. (その「適正」、売り手ではなく、あなた自身が確かめられる。)
- HORIZON SHIELD: buyer-side AI verification for construction and renovation estimates. It reads a quote, checks it against open cost data, and shows the reasoning so anyone can recompute the result.
- JCCDB: an open Japanese construction-cost database. CC BY 4.0, DOI-registered, evidence-linked. The public ground truth underneath the verification.
- Verification Gate + JIDEC: a conformance checker and a public, append-only verification ledger. You fetch the bytes, recompute the hash, check the record. No trust in me required.
- hs-femtech-mcp: the same idea applied to health information. A neutral registry that measures the transparency of femtech and health sources, never their medical truth. Peer review in progress.
- Yakumo: a verified contractor directory with zero referral fees. A listing is earned by passing the check, never bought.
All of it is built MCP-native, so an AI agent can call the verification and get a receipt instead of a marketing claim.
- Recomputable. Every verdict is reproducible from public bytes with SHA-256. Believe nothing, recompute everything.
- Independent. No referral fees, no pay-for-endorsement. A verifier that is paid to recommend is not a verifier.
- Honest about limits. Verified means untampered, not re-audited. When I do not know, I say I do not know. Fail-closed by default.
- ORCID: 0009-0000-9180-903X
- Research on construction-cost data and machine-verifiable records (SSRN)
- Independent reproduction of SEP-3004, the tamper-evident audit record contract
