Maintenance diagnostics
Map canonical problems in your environment, model risk, and align decision-makers around the maintenance debt they must resource.
Studio services
The Ethotechnics Studio operationalizes the field with diagnostics, facilitation, and accountable services.
We translate canonical problems into engagements that redistribute maintenance load and make accountability structural.
The studio applies Ethotechnics’ conceptual synthesis to real systems. We convene multidisciplinary teams, run maintenance readiness labs, and prototype instrumentation so partners can detect risk and redirect work before people burn out.
- Maintenance diagnostics that surface canonical problems in your context.
- Readiness labs and drills that operationalize refusal and reversibility.
- Instrumentation, governance prototypes, and accountability coaching for teams.
Engagements include risk modeling, facilitation, and co-designed operating agreements tuned to the maintenance realities of your teams.

What we deliver
Services that translate the field into action.
Every engagement is grounded in the Ethotechnics research agenda and glossary of canonical problems. We select the right mix of diagnostics, facilitation, and prototypes for your system.
Readiness labs
Facilitated labs, drills, and refusal rehearsals that redistribute maintenance load and make harm hard to outsource.
Instrumentation & governance
Prototype signals, governance rituals, and operating agreements that encode accountability across teams and vendors.
Who runs the studio
Led by a principal steward and networked collaborators.
Engagements pair Kanav’s stewardship with trusted collaborators across research, engineering, policy, and facilitation. We assemble the right coalition for each system we touch.

Kanav Jain
Founder & Principal Steward
Kanav guides the studio’s maintenance-first work after years leading crisis response, reliability remediation, and governance redesign. He facilitates maintenance readiness labs, stewards the Ethotechnics glossary, and keeps engagements accountable to frontline stewards.
-
Coalition-based teams
We assemble collaborators suited to your domain—from trauma-informed facilitators to reliability engineers.
-
Embedded facilitation
We work alongside your stewards to co-design drills, refusal pathways, and governance rituals that endure.
-
Accountable documentation
Engagements produce playbooks, instrumentation requirements, and decision logs you can maintain after we leave.
Proof and partnerships
The studio carries the field across critical systems.
- 100M+ clinician calls safeguarded
- Epic integrations across national health systems
- Accountability rituals in AI, civic, and health teams
Dialer as critical infrastructure
Scaled Doximity Dialer from a crisis tool to a safeguarded utility relied on by enterprise health networks.
Epic rollouts that held
Built and integrated Epic implementations that connected care teams, compliance, and billing across complex systems.
Accountability by default
Chaired cross-functional reviews that balanced safety, regulatory, and labor needs during reliability crises.
The studio partners with healthcare platforms, civic tech coalitions, and AI labs to pilot maintenance rituals and accountability frameworks.
Each engagement is grounded in the Ethotechnics research agenda, glossary, and practice library.
“Ethotechnics rebuilt our readiness drills so clinicians, compliance, and ops share the same playbook.”
“Maintenance labs gave our civic network language to name hidden labor and budget for repair.”
“Their frameworks shape how our AI lab builds human review loops each sprint.”
How we engage
Studio work keeps maintenance visible and resourced.
We pair diagnostic clarity with facilitation and instrumentation so partners can build refusal pathways, reversible services, and accountable governance.
Engagement commitments
- Design for refusal, not obedience
- Encode reversibility, not frictionlessness
- Expect human limits, not heroism
- Allocate load fairly, not invisibly
- Make accountability structural, not personal
- Build institutions that absorb shock, not export it
- Make harm expensive to the system, not to the human
