IdeaScale Japan

AI-powered strategic planning system developed by Xleron

Overview

IdeaScale Japan needed to compress a business planning process that traditionally took months, without handing sensitive corporate strategy to AI tools known to leak data or invent facts. We built IdeaScale Intelligence, an enterprise-grade AI platform that functions as a digital business advisor — running market research, competitor analysis, and financial planning inside a zero-retention, citation-enforced environment built specifically for confidential strategic work.

CHALLENGES

Off-the-shelf AI wasn't built for boardroom-grade confidentiality or trust.

Business planning at IdeaScale Japan was still trapped in static documents and spreadsheets, and the generative AI tools available to speed it up came with problems of their own. Three issues stood in the way of a faster, trustworthy process.

The Drop-Off of Traditional Research

Market research, competitor mapping, and legal review took months and drove up cost before a plan ever reached an investor.

AI Hallucinations & Unverified Data

General-purpose tools like ChatGPT invented competitors and fabricated statistics, making their output unusable without independent fact-checking.

Fragmented Group Planning

There was no secure way for a team to build on each other's work — collaboration meant emailing versions back and forth and hoping nothing got overwritten.

The Approach

Build the advisor investors could actually trust.

The starting principle was simple: an AI business advisor is only useful if its output can be verified. Every design decision — from API routing to citation rules — was built around proving where a number came from, not just producing one.

That principle shaped everything downstream. Zero-retention API agreements kept proprietary strategy out of model training data. RAG sandboxing forced every claim to carry a source URL and a publication date. And a secure "Remix" flow let teams build on each other's plans without the data conflicts of shared spreadsheets.

Core Capabilities

01  Zero-Data Retention & IP Protection

Enterprise-grade API routing guarantees zero customer data is retained by LLM providers for training, keeping strategic data legally isolated.

02  Citation Enforcement & RAG Sandboxing

Every generated data point, competitor mention, and market statistic must carry a verifiable source URL and publication date, or it isn't included.

03  Autonomous Intelligence Engine

The platform crawls the internet in real time for market sizes, target audiences, and verified information on real companies and contacts.

04  Synchronized Multiplayer Collaboration & Remix Flow

A secure, audit-trailed architecture lets team members duplicate a project into their own "Remix" without touching the source data.

Secure air-gapped AI system for critical infrastructure

Sentrix

Securing the Heartbeat of Power Generation

We developed Sentrix, a secure, on-premise system designed to support critical power infrastructure, where identifying faults quickly is essential to maintaining reliable operations. It brings together live equipment data, field observations, and decades of engineering documentation to help engineers identify root causes and make informed decisions faster, while keeping all sensitive plant data securely within the facility.

Ailee

Vision Intelligence for Non-Woven Bag Quality Control

We developed Ailee, a high-speed bag inspection system designed to identify more than 100 types of defects across 150+ bag designs. Using dual industrial cameras, it inspects up to four bags per second, identifies faulty products, and automatically separates defective bags without slowing down production. Ailee combines precise visual inspection, automatic defect sorting, flexible pattern recognition, and real-time production monitoring in one system. It helps packaging manufacturers reduce manual inspection, improve quality control, minimize errors, and maintain consistent product standards.
