Operational test
Teams can show a shipped feature where moral performance was designed, measured, and iterated.
Use this test to validate operational readiness.
Pair this test with the minimum evidence criteria to capture both qualitative and quantitative signals.
- Evidence artifact: Artifact documenting how Ethotechnics is expected, enforced, or governed.
- Behavior signal: Observed behavior showing Ethotechnics in practice during real use or drills.
- Metric signal: Metric tracked to monitor Ethotechnics performance over time.
The discipline of designing sociotechnical systems that reliably uphold moral obligations. It treats moral behavior as engineered capability expressed in policy, interfaces, and operations—so harm can be prevented, stopped, and repaired on a clock with a named owner.
A. Core concepts. These terms define the Ethotechnics discipline itself and set expectations for moral system design.
Draws from ethics, safety engineering, and systems design to align governance, product, and operations around observable moral performance.
