Change Log

To expand coverage, we added Japanese pages for 168 candidate organizations (373 organizations total). Each organization's content was reviewed recently (June–July 2026). English pages will be added progressively.

To make this change log easier to read, we added category filtering (six types: feature added / removed / changed, and organization added / removed / updated). Click a chip at the top to show only that type of change.

To improve transparency, we created this Change Log page (Japanese/English). From now on, additions, edits and deletions are recorded here with the date, type, reason, target and section.

On the home page, the free-word search box was hidden behind the fixed top bar when scrolling, so we fixed it: the search box and filters now stay just below the fixed bar and remain visible (home; Japanese/English).

For consistency of region categories, we consolidated groupings that were uneven as geographic divisions. 'Other Asia' (Korea and others) and 'Greater China' (Taiwan) were merged into 'East & Southeast Asia,' and a standalone 'India' entry was merged into 'South Asia' (region labels on every page and the region filter on the home page).

To expand coverage, we added Japanese/English pages for 10 candidate organizations (Duofu, WIRobotics, Testworks, Dot Incorporation, Better Milk, Donggubat, OurCityLove, Todoworks, PackAge+, Doson Company) (205 organizations total). Before adding, we checked each one's current status (leadership, continuity, policy changes).

Also to expand coverage, we added Japanese/English pages for 10 candidate organizations (AmaliTech, Banqer, Bear Better, Brighte, Exuus, GoodDot, Hireup, Mamotest, Stellapps, Tree Planet) (195 organizations total).

Some English pages still showed Korean text (e.g. academic author names) in the sources section, so we added processing that automatically removes annotations containing Korean (sources display on English pages).

To keep information current, we re-checked the leadership and status of 32 Japanese organizations and updated five (Japanese/English): JOGGO (current president Masayuki Ota), Nakagawa Masashichi Shoten (14th-generation head Aya Sengoku), Spiber (added its late-2025 funding difficulty, 2026 private restructuring and business transfer to CRANE; placed on watch), Smiles (2023 president Wataru Nozaki), Grameen Nippon (2025 chair Kimihiro Momono).

To improve navigation, we changed the header on organization pages and the home page into a fixed 'NARRATIVE VALUE' bar that stays in place while scrolling (it shows the current location, page title, a Japanese/English switch and a disclaimer note; clicking the logo returns to the home page).

So that the disclaimer can be read on its own, we created a standalone Disclaimer page (Japanese/English) and fixed links to it from various places.

For readability of English pages, we translated and tidied Japanese that remained in the sources section using a glossary, omitting anything untranslatable. We also shortened the bilingual summary (direct-answer) block to reduce overlap with the main text, and changed long source URLs to a 🔗 icon.

For source traceability, we identified and filled in missing source URLs through web research (including placeholders that read 'confirm and enter the source URL').

For readability by AI systems, we added an HTML fallback list of all organizations on the home page (a list that remains readable even with JavaScript disabled).

To expand coverage, we added 50 candidate organizations (from 135 to 185 organizations; published in Japanese/English after checking each one's current status).

To accept corrections and rebuttals, we brought the contact form into production (submissions are notified to the operator; your text is never published).

We acquired and connected the custom domain narrativevalue.org and published the site (on Cloudflare).
