Talking to Miko is always free (fair-use rate limits only). Hatsuho is spent on deliverables and drawn by actual usage: about 100 for a light task, 200 for a standard one, 400 for a deep one, and 200/600/1,000 for a document review. We ask you to confirm up front only when your balance runs short. Uncertified tools are never sold.
Checkout is not open yet. Register now and the free tier is yours as it stands; when paid plans open, people on the list hear first.
ONE-TIME DELIVERABLE
Buy once when you need only one deliverable
A one-time purchase covers one named deliverable confirmed inside the selected tool. It is not universal Hatsuho, cannot be transferred to another tool, and never renews automatically. If generation fails, you can rerun the same deliverable. Choose a subscription below when you expect to use several tools over time.

Side-by-side
Quality and Hatsuho rules across the three plans
Hatsuho is this site’s task point: specialist tasks draw it by actual usage, and failed or unfinished runs are refunded automatically. Quality is the same on every plan — the plan only decides how much Hatsuho you get each month. Services that are not yet available are clearly marked.

FAQ
About review and payment
For now we keep only the necessary payment actions. If anything is unclear, message us first.
What happens when my free trial Hatsuho runs out?
Free includes 600 trial Hatsuho each month — enough for one full professor-matching run or direction report — and talking to Miko never costs Hatsuho in the first place. When you want to iterate until it fits a real advisor, or push several directions in parallel, move up to Standard (4,000/month) or Premium (20,000/month). Your profile and research intent carry over.
Does the free plan cut down my matching results?
No. Every fully executed professor-matching run shows all results — free and paid plans differ only in monthly Hatsuho headroom, never in result count or quality. We don't hide candidates to push you into paying.
What's the difference between 5-criteria and 8-criteria review?
5 criteria: research question, research design, feasibility, expression, and argumentation — the Free scope. 8 criteria: adds significance, novelty, and academic relevance — included with Standard and Premium. The matching workbench's 7-criteria professor score (topic, field, method, background, evidence, feasibility, and activity) is a separate system from the 5/8 review criteria; pages always render to your current account scope and never present locked criteria as enabled.
How are my personal data and drafts protected?
Your draft is used only for this review and your own history review — never to train third-party models, and never shared in an identifiable way. For details, see the Privacy Policy.
Can you issue an invoice?
Yes, after paid subscriptions launch. For payment questions at this stage, contact us first via the early-user form.
Will companies treat AI-assisted job-hunt preparation as a rules violation?
Two different things. Before the test, using AI to practice formats, organize your experiences, and draft an ES you then polish yourself is preparation — the same kind as having a senior review your draft or attending a job-hunt school. During the test, having AI answer a web test or write your on-the-spot responses breaks the test terms; this service neither supports nor permits it. Every tool here is designed for the first case.
