COMAC and Value Change Agree to Joint R&D on Narrative Assessment
The bet is that the interview instinct senior staff cannot hand down can be converted into a repeatable tool, which is the part of personnel work that surveys and single-number scores keep missing.

Japan Communication Academy (COMAC) has signed a joint research and development agreement with Value Change. The two will combine the "eye for people" that senior talent bring from frontline interviews with COMAC's Integral Quantum Assessment, a patented technology that reads the direction and strength of people and organizations from dialogue rather than scores. Part of the service will be shown at Value Change's booth at the AI Era Human Resources and Organizational Reform EXPO at Makuhari Messe from November 11 to 13, 2026.
COMAC describes its Integral Quantum Assessment as a departure from the single number. Where a conventional assessment reports a position such as 8 out of 10, IQA borrows from the measurement principles of quantum mechanics to mark which direction a person or organization faces and how strong that direction is, more like an arrow than a score.
Value Change brings interview practice and hands-on management support; COMAC brings the technology. The stated goal is to translate a veteran's read of a management team into a model other people can use. Part of the result goes on display at Makuhari Messe in November.
