Practice in motion

Accompanying teams through accountable operations.

We accompany teams from urgent repair moments through long-term maintenance plans, staying alongside your staff at each step.

We design rituals together, rehearse responses, and remain until shared responsibilities hold. Everything we share comes from work in the field.

Orientation labs that surface maintenance debt.

Shared rituals that redistribute accountability.

Care escalations that protect the people doing the work.

Prefer to run a session without a facilitation engagement? Head to the practice guides in the library for self-serve agendas and worksheets.

Our team maps the care already happening, then designs scaffolds so it can scale and stay resourced.

Quick start

See how our practice supports different roles.

Choose the role that reflects the responsibilities you hold and explore the engagements, rituals, and invitations we can shape together.

Designers

Bring accountability into product work with facilitation and implementation partners.

Ethicists

Ground ethical frameworks in repeatable rituals that keep refusal and accountability actionable.

Researchers

Trace the evidence base from fieldwork snapshots through to ongoing companionship.

Organizers

Find the rituals and support structures that protect your collective capacity.

Let the work speak

The practice shows up in steady, specific repairs.

Every engagement is grounded in the conditions teams already know. We focus on reducing harm, redistributing responsibility, and leaving behind practices that keep care in circulation.

Regional mutual aid coalition

6 crews sharing upkeep duties through rotating rituals
0 missed critical supply drops across the pilot period

“Ethotechnics let our volunteers breathe. They translated our messy spreadsheets into a rhythm we can actually sustain.” — Logistics lead, mutual aid coalition

Community health lab network

Rebuilt reporting loops to stop burnout from propping up infrastructure.

97% lab uptime without emergency call-ins
4 weeks to train and onboard a cross-functional repair team
12 policies updated to protect pause-and-repair windows

“They stayed past launch to make sure the handoffs held. Our staff now have language and leverage to ask for what keeps people safe.” — Deputy director, community health lab

Responsible AI stewardship team

Reoriented model release reviews around accountability instead of velocity.

40% drop in critical escalations after deployment
5 playbooks co-created to practice refusal and course correction
All hands with shared rituals for surfacing maintenance debt

“Accountability stopped being an abstract value. The rituals we built together now trigger real pauses before harm spreads.” — Staff researcher, AI stewardship group

Co-design in practice

Partnership means we stay close to implementation.

We prototype policies, rituals, and technical safeguards alongside your team, capturing what works so care becomes part of everyday operations.

How we work

Co-design with affected teams
Document maintenance as strategy
