FAQ
Questions, answered honestly
Plain-English answers on the advice boundary, our data and sources, and billing.
The advice boundary
Is the Dojo Score investment advice?
No. It's research and education, delivered identically to every reader. It is not individualised advice and not a recommendation to buy or sell any security.
Why does everyone get the same scores and the same ranking list?
Because we're a publisher, not an adviser. The same scores, rankings and briefs go to all subscribers with no per-user tailoring. Plans change only how much you can see or how many names you can track — never the analysis itself.
Are your "top stocks" personalised to me?
No. There is no per-user optimisation. The lists are general information, published the same way for everyone.
Where the data comes from
What's the source data behind the English briefs?
Company disclosures from EDINET (Japan's official filing system, PDL 1.0), with TDnet planned. We summarise primary disclosures — we do not redistribute news articles.
Why don't you show prices, PER, or charts?
Redistributing Japanese price and index data requires licensing we haven't cleared. Vendor price data is used only for internal calculation and is never displayed; we show our own derived analytics instead.
Do you use J-Quants?
No. J-Quants has redistribution restrictions, so we have never added it.
The AI briefs
What if the English translation is wrong?
The Japanese-language original prevails. Every brief links to the source filing, and we summarise rather than reproduce the full text.
Performance
What performance do you publish?
Only our v1 sealed hold-out results — backtested and net of estimated costs. Past performance does not guarantee future results. See the Methodology page.
Plans, billing & your data
What's the difference between Free and Starter?
Free is a taster — a limited watchlist and a few briefs. Starter unlocks the full analysis-only experience with a larger watchlist. Starter pricing is being finalised; Pro and Ultimate are coming later. See Pricing.
How do refunds and cancellation work?
Cancel anytime from your account; access continues to the end of the paid period. Billing is in USD. See the Terms for the refund policy.
Can I subscribe from outside Japan?
Yes — the product is English-first and built for overseas investors. You're responsible for compliance with your local laws; the content is general information, not localised advice.
How do I export or delete my data?
You can export or delete your account data from your account settings, in line with APPI and GDPR. See the Privacy Policy.
