2. Two-axis evaluation criteria born from a wealth of support achievements

At Human Science, we have been involved in numerous manual creation projects since 1985, and we have a systematic understanding of the key points for creating "easy-to-understand manuals."
① Evaluation from the perspective of whether the manual meets the requirements expected by users.
② Evaluation from the perspective of the production techniques of the manual.
We will evaluate based on these two axes of checkpoints.
