Economic Security Management Guidelines (1st Edition): 44-Item Self-Check Worksheet (2026)

A fill-in worksheet built from the appendix checklist of the Economic Security Management Guidelines (1st Edition), published by METI's Trade and Economic Security Bureau on 23 January 2026. All 44 items are transcribed from the original text and laid out in its three-column form: check item, Y/N, and the structures (organisation, internal rules) and track record behind your answer. The breakdown follows the original: 5 items on principles executives should keep in mind, 13 on securing autonomy, 13 on securing indispensability, and 13 on strengthening governance, with the 8 items the original phrases as "it is also useful to" badged separately. Opens with a plain-language primer on what economic security, autonomy, indispensability, governance and duty of care actually mean. Includes METI-published survey data showing that 70.7% of 3,007 manufacturers had heard the term but had no concrete image of it, and that the share expecting lost revenue to outweigh the cost of action rises from 22.3% over one to three years to 31.9% over four to ten. As METI states explicitly, the guidelines are not an obligation imposed on companies and are not premised on transactions with any specific country, company, or person. This worksheet was produced by TIMEWELL and was not prepared or endorsed by METI. Final decisions should rest with your legal and compliance leadership and the latest publications of the relevant authorities.

Event Organiser's Migration & Data-Rescue Checklist (fill-in, 2026)

A fill-in worksheet for event organisers whose ticketing service has shut down. PassMarket closed on June 30, 2026, and its ticket management tool is announced as available until August 31, 2026 (planned). The sheet covers what to rescue before that deadline (attendee records, survey responses, revenue and payout records, event page copy, ticket configuration), an inventory of the channels through which you can still reach attendees, a formula and worksheet for calculating the effective cost of a new platform yourself, and the steps to launch a first event on it. Anything the official announcement does not state — when in-service messaging stops, the export specification for attendee lists and survey data, the timing of payouts — is marked "to be confirmed" rather than asserted. It does not rank providers; it supplies the formula and the checklist.

China-Related Transactions Export-Control Screening Sheet (fill-in / Export Control Law & Dual-Use Regulations, critical minerals, Control List, 2026)

A fill-in working sheet for companies trading with China: screen a single transaction against China's export-control regime (the Export Control Law and the Dual-Use Items Export Control Regulations), the controls on critical minerals (gallium/germanium/graphite/antimony/tungsten etc./rare earths/helium), and the four counterparty-list systems (Control List, Watch List, Unreliable Entity List, countermeasure lists). A procedure for "what to check before the deal," not a roster of "who is listed." With a plain-language intro, based on MOFCOM announcements. Listing is a regulatory category, not a judgment about any company (including the Japanese firms on the Japan-directed lists); controls change continually, so verify current announcements and consult your officer. Match counterparties using the original simplified-Chinese wording.
