Notes on Comparing Japan's Compliance Check SaaS — Information Source Design and Pricing Traps

Notes from evaluating Japan's six major counterparty compliance check SaaS products as a CTO. The market went through significant reshuffling in 2025-2026, with RoboRobo and SP RISK SEARCH partnering into an integrated platform called SPRS. Instead of another feature-matrix rundown, I focus on four areas comparison tables tend to hide: information source design, the real billing unit (per-name, not per-company), audit trail and approval flow, and what overseas coverage actually means in practice.

Is Gemini CLI Still Open Source — Reading the Apache 2.0 Code and the Backend Terms as Two Layers, and the Adoption Risk After the Antigravity CLI Transition

Google announced the transition from Gemini CLI to the closed-source Antigravity CLI and cut off free, individual access on 2026-06-18. Yet the Gemini CLI code itself stays Apache 2.0 and the repository keeps shipping releases. Whether to adopt it becomes clear once you read it as two layers: the code license and the backend service terms. This article lays out what happened, the irrevocability of Apache 2.0, the mutability of the service terms, the governance reality, the technical incompatibilities of migration, and the alternatives and defenses, as of 2026.

IAM and Resource Management to Check First After Adopting Google Cloud Organization — Preventing Project Sprawl and Personal-Account Dependencies

The moment you finish provisioning a Google Cloud Organization linked to Google Workspace or Cloud Identity, the entire domain has Project Creator and Billing Account Creator by default. That default exists so the first admin cannot lock themselves out, and it is not a recommended steady state. If you leave it, you end up with 'My First Project' scattered directly under the Organization, external services still authenticating as former employees via OAuth, and billing no one can trace. This post walks through the IAM to inspect on day one, a safe procedure to narrow the roles without cutting yourself off, folder and naming conventions, cautions when moving existing projects into folders, angles for auditing external-service integrations, and a checklist you can hand to the next admin who joins the team.
