Decide quickly
Each diagnostic is scoped to a single question so you can share a concise readout with executives, regulators, or partners.
Diagnostics
Pick a diagnostic, arrive with a question, and leave with a decision-ready summary and a clear off-ramp. These tools are public under CC BY through the Institute; Studio uses the same models with bespoke facilitation via ethotechnics.com/studio.
Results and off-ramps
Every diagnostic leaves you with a linkable readout.
Outputs include a stable URL, the off-ramp to ethotechnics.com/studio, and mechanism language references for follow-up.

Compare tools
Start with the quickest diagnostic that matches your decision.
Use the summary below to pick your best fit before scanning the full menu.
-
Delivery & timing
Each tool notes whether it is self-serve or studio-facilitated, plus the expected time.
-
Best for
One sentence captures the scenario the tool is optimized for.
-
Outputs & prep
Scan the readout list and prep checklist to confirm the lift.
-
Mechanism language
Use the mechanisms catalog to align mitigations after you compare.
Why teams call us
Diagnostics turn fuzzy risk into a concrete next step.
Built for visitors who need a clear answer without a long engagement.
Land on an off-ramp
Every result page includes the escalation path to ethotechnics.com/studio when risk or ambiguity shows up.
Link to shared language
Recommendations connect to the mechanism language so product, policy, and ops teams can move together.
Playable diagnostic
Risk radar: what is your team's burnout score?
Slide each signal to estimate how strained the system feels today. Share the output to start the conversation.
Burnout score
50
Elevated load
Use the Burden Modeler to quantify hotspots before the next cycle lands.
Facilitated, but lightweight
You bring the scenario, we guide the decision.
Sessions are lightweight and focused. We keep the scope tight so you can move work forward without adding overhead.
-
Frame the question
We define what a good answer looks like and what needs to be decided after the diagnostic.
-
Run the tool together
You walk through prompts, inputs, and trade-offs while we map gaps and risks.
-
Leave with a next step
You get a linkable readout, mechanism references, and the off-ramp to ethotechnics.com/studio if you need facilitation.
Diagnostics are written for visitors: no prior relationship needed, and every tool is CC BY through the Institute.
Diagnostics menu
Pick the tool that matches your situation.
Every diagnostic ships with a linkable result and an off-ramp. If a diagnostic surfaces high risk or ambiguity, we route you to a facilitated deep dive through ethotechnics.com/studio.

Diagnostic tool
Burden Modeler
Quantifies task load, cognitive friction, and risk exposure so you can reroute toil before it burns people out.
Self-serve
Estimated time: 10–15 minutes
Best for leaders who need a fast workload snapshot before teams hit a burnout threshold.
-
Use this when
- Run when leaders need to see how burden accumulates across roles or release cycles.
- Pair with support and operations partners to weight inputs and confirm where friction is worst.
-
What you receive
- Burden index score with plain-language findings tied to your scenario.
- Ranked hotspots with mitigation paths and expected relief per action.
- Result page with a persistent off-ramp to ethotechnics.com/studio.
-
Prep checklist
- Scenario name and primary workflow.
- Rough task volume or handoff counts.
- Known friction points or escalation paths.
Result pages always include the off-ramp to ethotechnics.com/studio for risky or unclear scores.
Diagnostic tool
LLM Capacity Benchmark
Lightweight evaluation to check if a model and its surrounding UI respect consent and context limits.
Studio-facilitated
Estimated time: 30–45 minutes
Best for teams validating consent, disclosure, and context limits before an AI pilot.
-
Use this when
- Run before piloting a new model-powered feature with real people.
- Pair with progressive consent prompts to keep expectations clear.
-
What you receive
- Readiness summary that highlights consent journey gaps.
- UI nits and mitigation guidance tied to mechanism language filters.
- Result page reiterating the off-ramp link to ethotechnics.com/studio for complex findings.
-
Prep checklist
- Sample prompts or flows to benchmark.
- Current consent or disclosure copy.
- Stakeholder who owns model and UI decisions.
Result pages always include the off-ramp to ethotechnics.com/studio before finalizing recommendations.
Diagnostic tool
Maintenance Simulator
Tabletop simulation that plays through outages, maintenance windows, and handoffs to stress-test coverage.
Self-serve
Estimated time: 20–30 minutes
Best for operations leaders rehearsing outage response and escalation ownership.
-
Use this when
- Use during planning to negotiate coverage, escalation, and staffing constraints with partners.
- Stress-test appeal paths, safety valves, and service-level guarantees before launch.
-
What you receive
- Scenario runs with clear ownership, mitigation branches, and time-to-halt expectations.
- Communication templates mapped to risk levels, roles, and escalation routes.
- Result page summarizing coverage gaps with the off-ramp to ethotechnics.com/studio.
-
Prep checklist
- Upcoming maintenance or outage scenario.
- Named escalation owner and comms partner.
- Known dependency or rollback risks.
Result pages always include the off-ramp to ethotechnics.com/studio so teams know where to escalate.
Diagnostic tool
Technical Capacity Forecaster
Charts compound decay against refusal windows to spot saturation risk across a 24-month horizon.

- Use when delivery teams need to visualize stability trade-offs with remediation paths.
- Pair with portfolio reviews to align refusal policies with operational bandwidth.
-
What you receive
- Side-by-side baseline and remediated capacity projections.
