If anything is unclear, message us first.","items":[{"q":"What happens when my free trial Hatsuho runs out?","a":"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."},{"q":"Does the free plan cut down my matching results?","a":"No. Every fully executed professor-matching run shows <b>all</b> 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."},{"q":"What's the difference between 5-criteria and 8-criteria review?","a":"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 <b>7-criteria professor score</b> (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."},{"q":"How are my personal data and drafts protected?","a":"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>Privacy Policy</privacy>."},{"q":"Can you issue an invoice?","a":"Yes, after paid subscriptions launch. For payment questions at this stage, contact us first via the early-user form."},{"q":"Will companies treat AI-assisted job-hunt preparation as a rules violation?","a":"Two different things. <b>Before the test</b>, 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. <b>During the test</b>, 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."}]},"nextSteps":{"title":"Keep exploring the product","items":[{"label":"Try a basic review now","description":"Sign in to run one review — against a real advisor's research direction and where you come from, and see whether this plan truly lines up."},{"label":"Build your academic profile · see recommendations","description":"Enter research intent and choose a direction to move into the direction map and professor recommendations; your free trial Hatsuho covers one full run with all results shown."},{"label":"Join the early users","description":"Want to know the moment Standard / Premium purchase opens?
