Patent Granted: Experience 'Minna no Manager' at Exhibition – Visualize and Quantitatively Evaluate Management Outcomes (Free Demo Available)

SkyStone Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: 8F, Osaka Ekimae Dai-4 Building, 1-11-4 Umeda, Kita-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; Representative Director: Yasuhiro Ohara) has jointly acquired Patent No. 7818248 from AIFIT Inc. for the invention titled 'Organization Member Evaluation Device, Organization Member Evaluation Method, and Program'.

This technology analyzes members' behavioral data and evaluation information to suggest actionable next steps for managers.

Additionally, SkyStone will exhibit at the '25th Administration, HR & Accounting Week Tokyo,' held from Wednesday, June 17 to Friday, June 19, 2026, at Tokyo Big Sight, offering a free hands-on experience of 'Minna no Manager,' an organizational and talent development platform built on this patented technology.

## Background of the Patent Acquisition

In many organizations, signs of employee distress, potential turnover, and developmental challenges have traditionally been identified based on managerial experience and intuition.

However, differences in management experience and the busyness of frontline operations often lead to inconsistent and subjective timing for check-ins and interviews.

'Minna no Manager' was developed to streamline organizational operations by analyzing member status from multiple angles and helping managers identify appropriate next actions more easily.

The recently acquired patent covers the core analytical and recommendation technology behind this system.

## Details of the Acquired Patent

- Patent Number: Japanese Patent No. 7818248
- Application Number: Patent Application No. 2025-138200
- Title of Invention: Organization Member Evaluation Device, Organization Member Evaluation Method, and Program
- Overview: A technology that analyzes members' behavioral data and evaluation information to suggest actionable next steps for managers and staff

This technology enables organizations to move beyond vague impressions and instead detect early signs of change based on data, facilitating timely interventions such as interviews, check-ins, and developmental support.

'Minna no Manager' also leverages Google's generative AI, 'Gemini,' to assist in organizing and analyzing qualitative information such as open-ended survey responses. By combining its proprietary patented technology with the analytical power of generative AI, the platform supports everyday managerial decision-making.

## CEO Statement

'In organizational development, it's not about judging people solely by numbers, but about quickly detecting early signs of change and turning them into meaningful conversations.

'Minna no Manager' was developed to help teams assess their status and choose their next steps effectively—even without relying solely on experienced managers.

With this patent acquisition, we aim to deliver reproducible, data-driven management practices to more organizations, moving beyond reliance on intuition and anecdotal experience.'

## Implementation in Amusement and Food Service Industries

'Minna no Manager' has been implemented by companies in the amusement and food service industries, where it is used to monitor staff well-being and establish consistent interview cycles.

Prior to implementation, companies faced challenges such as unexplained staff resignations and difficulty identifying effective measures to improve retention. Additionally, in shift-based environments, managers bore the burden of individually addressing daily absences and tardiness.

After implementation, organizations have found it easier to monitor staff conditions and provide timely on-site support.

Implementing companies have shared feedback such as: 'We can now more easily identify staff struggling with physical or mental health issues,' and 'Our turnover rate has decreased, and we can now conduct interviews whenever an issue arises.'

'Minna no Manager' goes beyond merely reviewing survey results by actively supporting managers in taking concrete actions such as conducting interviews and initiating check-ins.

This approach aims to reduce managerial dependency on individual expertise, making organizational development outcomes visible and quantitatively evaluable.
