How to use
Managers: follow the manual below in order — day one, the first week, every month, once a year. Members just sign in and write their daily report.
Manager’s manual
Screen names and buttons are written exactly as they appear on screen. Each chapter has three steps at most. If your spreadsheet is not ready yet, see “Onboarding” first.
Day one
About 20 minutes
1. Add your team to the roster
Where Top menu “Settings” → “Coaching policy” → “Members (email, one per line)” → [Save]
Enter each member’s Google account email, one per line. That one field covers both sign-in permission and the roster (the team list's missing-report check and the weekly review). No invitation email is sent, so share the site’s URL. You can then see the list and submission status under “Settings” → “Roster”.
2. Write your coaching policy
Where Top menu “Settings” → “Coaching policy” → the “Coaching policy” field → [Save]
Write what the team values. It becomes the axis of the weekly AI summary (evaluation draft) and the 1-on-1s. It is on the same screen as step 1, so one [Save] covers both.
3. Enter one goal for this year
Where Top menu “Monthly / yearly” → “Goals” → “Enter a goal directly” → [Add] under “Add a goal” → [Save]
Enter a goal name, a unit and the yearly target (for example: Sales, JPY, 12,000,000), press [Add], then [Save]. The yearly target splits automatically into months, weeks and days, and appears in members’ daily reports as “today’s goal”. If you would rather write the business plan first, use “Import goals from the business plan” in the “Once a year” chapter.
First week
A few minutes a day, about 10 minutes a week
1. Members write their daily report
Where Member: top menu “Daily report” → [Submit report] (use [Save draft] for unfinished ones)
Ask members to write Plan, Do, Check and Act every day and submit. When goals exist, the daily report shows “today’s goal” and members can enter the actual figures in the evening.
2. Approve the reports
Where Top menu “Daily” → “Approvals” → [Approve and record N]
Review the reports that arrived and approve them; everyone’s reports are then written to the spreadsheet. If a report needs fixing, send it back with a comment.
3. Hold the weekly look-back
Where Top menu “Weekly” → “Weekly AI summary (evaluation draft)”
Use the weekend feedback, the manager’s note and the 1-on-1 sheet generated on Friday for each member in Monday’s 1-on-1. For teams with goals, progress against goals is part of the material. You can check the basis under “Evaluation basis” in the same “Weekly” group.
Every month
About 5 minutes
1. Check this month’s progress
Where Top menu “Monthly / yearly” → “Goals” → “This month at a glance”
For each goal, one line shows this month’s target, the actual, how much is “Remaining”, and where you land “At this pace, month-end”.
2. Adjust a month’s target if needed
Where “Goals” → [More settings] on the goal’s card → “Allocation method” → [Save]
A month’s target never changes by itself because actuals are ahead or behind. For the month you want to change, choose “Enter each month by hand” and type the figure (the methods are: Split equally, Split by business days, Split by monthly coefficient, Enter each month by hand). Nothing takes effect until you press [Save].
Once a year
About 30 minutes
1. Write the business plan
Where Top menu “Monthly / yearly” → “Business plan” → write each chapter → [Save business plan]
Cover philosophy, business, market and customers, products and pricing, the monthly numerical plan, key initiatives and risks. Everything is optional and you can save as you go. The “Mid- and long-term goals (10 / 5 / 3 years out)” chapter after the philosophy is optional too.
2. Carry it into your goals
Where “Business plan” → “Import goals from the business plan” → [Preview] → [Import goals from the business plan]
The monthly numerical plan (sales, gross profit) and the key initiatives become goals. If goals already exist, choose between overwriting and updating only the differences. The Goals screen opens afterwards. If the mid- and long-term goals have 3-year figures, [Fill in this year’s guide from the 3-year goal] under “Add a goal” on the Goals screen also fills in a guide for the yearly target.
3. Switch to the new fiscal year
Where Top menu “Monthly / yearly” → “Goals” → the “Fiscal year” selector (start month and so on are under “Period settings”)
Pick the new fiscal year and check the start month, the first day of the week and the company holidays under “Period settings”. If you have unsaved changes, you are asked before switching.
Members: 3 steps
1. Sign in with Google
Sign in with the Google account your manager registered. A consent screen appears the first time.
2. Write and submit your daily report (PDCA)
In Daily, fill in Plan, Do, Check, Act and tomorrow's plan. If you get stuck, AI assist/hints offer a draft or questions — you decide what to adopt.
3. Approval finalizes it
Once your manager approves, the report is finalized and you can look back anytime in History. Set your display name in Profile.
Business plan and goals
In “Business plan”, summarise your yearly plan on one page with seven sections (philosophy, business, market and customers, products and pricing, monthly numerical plan, key initiatives, risks), and save it as a PDF from your browser’s print dialog.
The monthly numerical plan can be carried into “Goals” with one button. Goals can be split into halves, quarters, months, weeks and days by equal split, business days, monthly coefficients or manual entry. When the totals of upper and lower levels differ, the difference is shown rather than rewritten automatically.
The daily report screen shows “today’s goal”. One tap puts it into the plan (P), and entering “today’s actual figures” in the evening tallies the achievement rate and the landing at this pace. For teams that have not set goals, the daily report screen stays exactly as it was.
You can also create role-group and individual goals (Evaluation Pro). A team goal can be split by equal shares or by a ratio per person. When people join or leave, shares do not move automatically and the difference is shown as “unallocated”. Members see only their own share and the team-wide goals.

FAQ
- How do I add a member?
- A manager opens Settings, adds the person's email to Members (email), one per line, and saves. That single field registers both sign-in permission and the roster. The person then signs in with Google — done. No invitation email is sent, so share the site URL.
- How do I add another manager?
- Add their email to Manager emails in Settings and save. After signing in they can use the manager screens (Approve, Team, Settings, etc.).
- How do I show names instead of email addresses?
- Each person can set a display name in Profile, or a manager can register them in Settings' display-name field as email=name.
- Where is the data stored?
- Approved reports are stored in a spreadsheet in your own Google Drive. Raw data on our server can be viewed for at most 24 hours after submission (anything older becomes inaccessible and is erased by the daily scheduled deletion at the latest the next day). It is erased immediately when a manager approves. See the Security page for details.
