From Abstract Essence to Concrete Structure

A structural design firm redesigning the boundary between matter and information

A device for implementing thoughts that transforms chaos into order

The world is becoming more complex, making it difficult to see the essence of things. Before writing any programming code, we first rewrite the "structure of the world (business/problem)."

Q3 is more than just an IT solutions provider. We are architects who translate and implement your vague inner "will" and "ideals" into robust "systems" that function in physical reality.

Technology is simply the "common language" for this purpose.

Business area

Architecture (structural design and consulting)

Structuring business strategies / Creating blueprints for new businesses / Building logic for overseas expansion

From "will" to "blueprint." Defining the invisible structure.

Every breakdown begins with a flaw in the design, even before any code is written. We don't immediately accept system development requests. We begin by unraveling the chaotic vision and complex web of issues you have in your head and defining them as a logically coherent structure (architecture).

This is similar to the approach in physics, which translates complex real-world (3-dimensional) phenomena into computable information (2-dimensional). Our first job is to visualize the invisible essence and provide you with a map showing the route you should take.

  • Structural Consulting (Wall-bashing): We act as a "bouncer" for managers and leaders, diagramming and verbalizing their vague concerns. We analyze the topology of the issue and clearly distinguish between areas where IT should be introduced and areas where people's awareness should be changed.
  • New Business Design: In the start-up phase when creating something from nothing, or when launching a new business, we design the framework of the business, from formulating the business model to selecting the technology.
  • Global Strategy: Utilizing our experience at foreign companies and our international network, we build logic for business expansion (overseas expansion and introduction of overseas tools) that transcends the barriers of language and business practices.

Implementation (social implementation/engineering)

Robust infrastructure construction / Scalable system development / Physical device prototyping

Robust engineering that puts ideas into action.

No matter how beautiful a blueprint (architecture), it is nothing more than a fantasy if it does not work in the real world. We are also implementers, converting abstract logical models into "systems" and "devices" that function in the physical world.

From Layer 1 (physical layer) to Layer 7 (application layer), we straddle the boundaries between software and hardware, and between virtual and physical space, to "materialize" your will in this world.

  • System Architecture & Development: We don't write code that just works. We build robust systems that are readable, scalable, and can withstand increasing entropy.
  • IoT & Physical Computing: Through the development of sensors and devices, we will develop an "interface" that will allow information from the Internet to flow into the physical world and information from the physical world to flow back into the Internet.
  • Global Standard Quality: Based on the experience gained from working on foreign capital projects and mission-critical sites, we provide world-class infrastructure quality that will not stop even in environments that require high loads and high security.

Exploration

Connecting cities and rural areas / Demonstration experiment in Kawanehon Town / Research into the fusion of nature and technology / Community management

We don't design solely on theories. We have two physical locations, the Kawane Research Institute in Kawanehon-cho, Shizuoka Prefecture, and Qube Cafe in Arakawa-ku, Tokyo. We are connecting these two opposing physical locations with a pipeline, and conducting experiments to circulate cutting-edge information from cities and the fundamental values ​​of rural areas.

  • Urban-Rural Bridge: We maintain a strong network with Tokyo (Arakawa Ward) and function as a hub connecting urban and rural areas, providing practical knowledge on dual residence and creating a connected population.
  • Community Laboratory: Clarifying the mechanisms of chance encounters and community formation through the "place" of a cafe.
  • Field Work: Research into social systems from a multifaceted perspective gained by traveling between the natural environment (Kawane) and the urban environment (Tokyo).
