Questions & answers
Offshore AI development for Japan — FAQ
Why choose an India-based offshore AI partner for a Japanese project?
India (IST) is only 3.5 hours behind Japan (JST), so the Indian morning overlaps the Japanese afternoon and feedback gets a same-day turnaround — unlike US or European teams with a 12-hour gap. BCAQI Labs pairs that overlap with 報連相 reporting discipline, bilingual (English/Japanese) delivery, and senior AI engineers.
How do you handle the communication risk of offshore delivery?
We follow the 報連相 (hō-ren-sō) discipline familiar to Japanese teams: proactive reporting (報告), immediate contact on issues (連絡), and consultation before decisions (相談). That means a weekly written progress report, a daily async check-in, and a response within 24 hours on JST business days.
Who owns the intellectual property?
All work-product IP transfers to the client on payment — the code, models, and documentation are yours. An NDA is signed before any data is exchanged, and client data is processed only in environments you approve and deleted on project close.
What can an offshore AI pod actually build?
LLM applications, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, agentic workflow automation with human-in-the-loop controls, Japanese document intelligence pipelines, and private LLM deployments that run inside the client's own environment.
