Ethos
Ethos
Ethos is a privacy-first academic survey, analytics, and writer suite for institutions, teaching labs, and research teams that need self-hosted workflows with zero external calls.
What It Covers
Ethos is intended for research and teaching environments that need one integrated system for instrument building, response collection, statistical analysis, and reproducible report generation. The current alpha architecture includes a survey builder, an analytics chain covering quality reporting through to EFA readiness and CFA lavaan syntax output, a downloadable HTML report, and self-hosted deployment patterns.
What Is Available Now
The alpha includes a working end-to-end analytics chain powered by surveyframe v0.3, now live on CRAN (install.packages("surveyframe")): define an instrument, import CSV responses, run quality reporting, score scales, check reliability and EFA readiness, generate CFA lavaan syntax for structural planning, and render a downloadable HTML report. All computation runs locally through a self-hosted R engine with no external calls. PLS-SEM, CB-SEM, and structural equation model execution are planned for the next release cycle.
Current Stage
The product is in alpha. The public page is meant to explain the direction of the suite while access and pilots are still being scoped carefully.
Access And Limitations
Ethos is not available as a public hosted service. Pilot and update requests are handled directly through the form below while the self-hosted alpha is stabilised. Pricing and deployment scope are not published yet because pilot use is being discussed case by case with institutions and research teams.
