Weird ideas · The Rabbit Hole

Have a weird idea you don't know how to bring to reality?

Bring it to us. We like interesting problems with no obvious answer. We will investigate what is possible, find a path forward, and tell you honestly what we discover.

What this is

Not generic consulting. Not a catalogue of services.

The common thread is simple: there is an interesting problem, and nobody quite knows how to solve it yet. That might mean researching a material, finding a maker, contacting manufacturers, comparing approaches, working through logistics, or making a prototype.

The first thing we are selling is curiosity, research, and the stubborn ability to figure things out.

The first engagement

The Rabbit Hole

A focused, paid investigation—usually ¥30,000–¥100,000 depending on the question and scope.

We go down the rabbit hole and come back with what we found: feasibility, possible approaches, materials, suppliers, craftspeople, approximate costs, logistics, constraints, likely dead ends, and the next experiments worth trying.

You can take the research and continue on your own. Or, if it makes sense, we can help with procurement, prototyping, fabrication coordination, testing, and the next stage.

A useful starting point

You do not need to know exactly what to ask for.

  1. 01What are you trying to make happen?
  2. 02What's stopping you?
  3. 03What would success look like?
  4. 04What's the rough budget?
  5. 05Why might Cherry on the Moon be useful?

We only take on projects where we feel we can genuinely contribute, where there is a realistic path forward, and where the problem itself makes us curious and excited to get involved. Licensed work is scoped and coordinated with the appropriately qualified people.
