Tools hub
Kits, diagnostics, and prototypes that help teams find and fix accountability gaps before failures compound. Each listing includes a readiness status, evidence you can share with leadership, and a clear next step.
Some live tools are hosted on ethotechnics.org to keep production diagnostics separate from the main site. Every off-site destination is labeled.
Start by intent
Quick access
Match your immediate need to a tool.
I need a quick readiness snapshot → start with Maintenance Readiness.
I need a risk diagnostic today → start with Risk Radar.
I need a complete resource map → start with Agent Catalog.
Status legend

Operational Burden Index
Free DIY version
Run the Operational Burden Index
(opens on ethotechnics.org) to quantify time tax, complexity, and recourse coverage.
Studio facilitated version
Schedule a Burden Index review
to align leadership on the control readout.
Maintenance readiness snapshot
Free DIY version
Run the maintenance readiness snapshot
to score ownership, escalation, and rehearsal coverage.
Studio facilitated version
to align leaders on resourcing the maintenance plan.
Reversibility Kits
Predictive Diagnostics
Tools hub FAQ
- Which tools are live today?
Production-ready diagnostics you can run immediately to surface maintenance debt and prove safeguards.
- How do I choose DIY versus studio facilitation?
DIY for quick exploration. Studio facilitation for shared accountability and documented decisions: drills, stakeholder alignment, and evidence logs.
- What outcomes should I expect from a pilot?
A readout of where controls hold and fail, plus required maintenance rituals. You leave with playbook updates and ownership assignments.
Can these tools support regulatory or board reporting?
Yes. Structured outputs for governance reviews, audits, or board updates. Focused on safeguards you can demonstrate, not policies you can cite.
