Focus
Administrative load, churn risk, and operational burnout hidden in digital flows.
Ethotechnics
Why good products burn people out.
Ethotechnics is Kanav Jain’s methodology bridge—high-trust system design that measures friction, cuts administrative load, and routes you to the Institute (.org) or Studio (.com) depending on what you need next.
Start a diagnostic
Share the product, the friction points, and the outcomes you need.
Method
Quantify burden, design risk controls, and ship accountability rituals.
Outcome
Lower friction, fewer support tickets, and clearer trust signals.
The hook
The Hidden Cost of Digital Friction.
We measure the administrative load your software places on users—then turn it into a map you can act on.
The nod factor
Every extra click, form field, and waiting period is a tax on your user's attention. Most companies call this “churn.” We call it Burden, and we know how to fix it.
The solution
Meet Ethotechnics.
The methodology that links Kanav.net to the Institute and Studio.
Kanav Jain’s specialized practice for High-Trust System Design.
Burden Modeling
We quantify how hard your product is to use.
Safety Engineering
We build kill switches so bad processes can be stopped.
Accountability
We design workflows that generate trust, not support tickets.
The proof
Before & after
A visual shorthand for the difference between friction-heavy bureaucracy and managed workflows.
