Yes, currently we're at the stage of analyzing the market research results. I think we can summarize the report by sometime next week.

I see. Actually, there was a consultation from the client about slightly changing the contents.

A change in contents? What degree of change are we talking about?

It's mainly parts related to the design concept. The current direction isn't bad, but they said they want some newer ideas incorporated.

I see. New ideas, huh... That increases the difficulty a bit. I'll need to consult with the team members and try to think of several new proposals.

Understood. However, if we change the design, the schedule might become a bit tight. By when did the client say they want to see the new proposals?
