"Our World. Rules by Everybody." This is our vision.
We found OSINTech Inc. in order to support people worldwide who are making actions to change the world. This is why RuleWatcher aims to be a platform where people can make decisions, exchange their opinions based on primary information and create a better world.
Nowadays, we use artificial intelligence in our daily lives. I feel that this has led many people to think about the difference between artificial intelligence and our own intelligence.
At OSINTech, we focus on intelligence (rather than intelligence) as the answer to this question. Sensitivity, aesthetics, ethics, and the very abstract brain activity that it produces, are all connected to the concept of "tankyu" that we have valued in our social thinktank, Tankyu Intelligence Center(TIC).
When I observe people doing a lot of tankyu activities at TIC, somehow people gather around such actors and things get moving. When a person opens his/her unique sensitivity and fully utilizes all five senses, a great centripetal force is born, and I believe that this power will change the world.
On November 22nd, 2024, OSINTech will celebrate its 6th anniversary. On that occasion, we will launch a one-year project, “Let's Make Tankyu Declaration Together Project,” in which we will “tankyu(explore)” “tankyu” with all of our stakeholders. (with you!)
For one year, until November 22nd, 2025, we will interview wonderful tankyu people and collect images and texts of various tankyu experiences hidden in your daily life that make you smile, laugh, or feel relieved. We hope that we will enjoy these questions to human intelligence together with you all who love OSINTech.

Keywords to understand our vision and philosophy deeper!
International rules and language technology
We live in such an era that plastics keep polluting the oceans, the market capitalization of giant corporations exceeds national budgets and climate crisis is becoming increasingly serious. As transnational issues increase, so does the influence of transnational rules.
RuleWatcher is designed to help us understand what discussions are taking place and what social norms are emerging around the world in response to today's "transnational issues".
RuleWatcher was made possible by the development of AI translation. It organizes all the information from governments and other organizations in various countries transmitted in any language by converting it into a unified language, English. Thus, we can easily read information in Hebrew, Vietnamese, Arabic, and other languages, and I really realize that we are the first generation of human beings to be able to handle multilingual information.
OSINT?
Having insight into publicly available information is called OSINT (OSINT = Open Source Intelligence). It has become an intelligence method that has attracted much attention in recent years, but the concept itself is not new.
We named the company OSINTech(OSINT×Tech), meaning that it uses language technology to make it available for any person to do OSINT. A character named "OSIN-chan," which we created out of our desire to let people read complicated information in a softer way, serves as an administrator in RuleWatcher.

Non-market strategies (ESG OSINT)
Intelligence is sometimes used for security and military, but it is also used a lot for business. Areas such as business intelligence and social monitoring are such examples.
However, what OSINTech provides is not an intelligence for looking at the market, but rather for "non-market strategies". Non-market strategies are those that look outside of the "market" (i.e., customers, competitors, etc.) to gain an advantage by incorporating regulatory, environmental, social, and technological conditions into business plans and by reaching out to the media, governments, NGOs, and citizens.
RuleWatcher is an "ESG OSINT" tool that helps companies develop business strategies that take environmental and human rights concerns into account. We believe that being the first to know the policy directions of NGOs working on human rights and environmental issues, UN agencies, and national governments will surely provide clues for changing the business activities to more sustainable styles.
Market as well as non-market areas are important. In particular, information on the environment and human rights has become extremely important for business activities.
Future business management - how we think of it?
In an era of democratization of rules
"Rules" were originally designed to improve our lives. However, most of us probably have the impression that they are designed to bind us and benefit only a few people.
The world is full of problems, both environmental and human rights, that are difficult to solve. Rules are great "tools" to confront these problems. They direct investments toward more sustainable activities, place limits on unconsidered technologies, promote innovation to solve problems and fund grassroots activities. All of this is possible through rules.
That is why many people, not just "someone with a loud voice," need to participate in this rule-making process. If we can take the rules that are beginning to be discussed in distant countries in our hands, we can use them as inspiration for rules in our own countries. OSINTech will continue to evolve RuleWatcher every day to create such an environment.
"Our world. Rules by everybody." This is the future we are aiming for.
