Torihiki TechōAbout Torihiki Techō
Torihiki Techō is a media that helps freelancers, contractors, and clients solve practical challenges in business transactions. It covers all areas of work transactions including contracts, estimation, direction, IP rights, and troubleshooting.
Why We Created Torihiki Techō
When freelancers and small businesses take on or commission work, there are very few systematic sources of practical knowledge about contract writing, estimation rationale, and dispute resolution.
Many people contract 'by feel' and only research when problems arise. We created Torihiki Techō to bridge this information asymmetry.
