Japan Gov Owner Mapper
Map formal responsibility and adjacent policy involvement without mistaking a whitepaper mention for statutory ownership.
Do Not Use For
- Whether a topic is currently emphasized; use
japan-gov-priority-checker.
- Which program receives funding; use
japan-gov-budget-tracer.
- General thematic mentions without an ownership question.
Workflow
- Define the theme, government level, decision context, and whether “owner” means statutory mandate, policy coordination, program delivery, or document framing.
- Gather evidence in descending authority:
- laws, cabinet/ministerial orders, official organization and jurisdiction pages;
- Cabinet decisions, basic plans, headquarters/council documents, and named responsible-body assignments;
- current program, budget, implementation, or administrative-review records;
- whitepaper or report mentions.
- Use
../../references/official-url-model.md and ../../references/egov-whitepaper-route-map.md for official document routes; cite the exact mandate or assignment location.
- Label each body
primary/formal, co-owner/coordinator, implementation owner, adjacent, or mention only.
- Assign confidence:
high: current tier 1 evidence plus corroborating tier 2 or 3 evidence;
medium: explicit tier 2 assignment or consistent tier 3 responsibility without verified formal mandate;
low: whitepaper mention, indirect relevance, or stale/ambiguous responsibility only.
- Check recency and central/local boundaries. Stop rather than force a single owner when responsibility is genuinely shared or not assigned.
Output
| Role | Ministry/agency | Responsibility type | Evidence tier | Official basis | Current? | Confidence |
|---|
Also include 主担当候補, 共同・周辺主体, 白書上の言及との違い, 所管が曖昧な点, and 誤分類リスク.
Guardrails
- Do not call a ministry the formal owner based only on a whitepaper or keyword hit.
- Do not present overlapping mandates as a conflict without evidence.
- Distinguish national jurisdiction, local implementation, independent agencies, and private roles.
