Akai Detective Agency (operated by Akai Jimusho Co., Ltd.), a firm specializing in infidelity investigations, has released the 'Akai Detective Agency Official Comparison Chart: Comparing Fees, Quality, etc.' for clients evaluating detective agencies.

This page compares Akai Detective Agency with other firms based on practical points that should be verified before signing a contract. It provides a comprehensive list of items that are often unclear based on advertised prices alone, such as total cost, conditions for contingency fees, quality of evidence photos, report standards, post-investigation support, and responses to digital evidence.

Key items featured in the comparison chart include price transparency, contingency fee conditions, evidence photo quality, technical development capabilities, report quality, track record and expertise, training systems, after-support, and digital evidence handling. For instance, regarding price transparency, the chart highlights Akai’s use of package pricing that includes report preparation and vehicle costs, contrasted with other firms that may only advertise a starting price (e.g., 'From XXX Yen') without clarifying total costs. It also emphasizes the importance of verifying clear contingency fee conditions and the existence of a full refund guarantee.

Furthermore, the chart explains the importance of not just high-performance equipment, but also capabilities for specific needs like night photography. For digital evidence, it recommends checking for qualified professionals and the presence of dedicated, secure storage rooms. Since infidelity investigations may impact subsequent negotiations, settlements, divorce proceedings, or litigation, the company highlights that consumers should compare comprehensive contractual terms rather than simply choosing the cheapest option. The page also includes common concerns and questions, serving as a useful resource for those in the process of selecting a professional detective agency.
