Manual Evaluation, Analysis, and Improvement Proposal Service

Manual evaluation, analysis,
and improvement proposal services

Experienced consultants "visualize" current manual problems

"Why are manuals so difficult to understand?" "Even if you want to improve the manual, where do you start?" Do you have any concerns about manuals?
Our writers with 10 to 20 years of experience will conduct analysis and evaluation of manuals and actual equipment.
We create original checklists based on the content of the manual and the customer's requests.
※We can also compare the evaluation results with other company's manuals at the same time.

 

 

Features of Human Science

1. Experienced writers with 10-20 years of career knowledge in manual creation analyze and evaluate.

Our writer, who has been in charge of creating manuals for many companies, objectively evaluates the ease of understanding of the manual, as well as its strengths and weaknesses compared to other companies' manuals.
We will "visualize" the current issues with the manual and provide specific improvement points.
