We help businesses make more informed decisions through our services

1. ETHICS AUDITS

We audit your organization on different parameters to understand your approach to ethics, and map your position in your overall ethical journey

We use our proprietary framework, the Ethics Audit Toolkit, which is based on a human-centered approach to creation of tech and digital products. The questions or prompts are based on learnings and insights gathered from research conducted to understand approach to ethics, work processes and ethics practices in tech industries.

The toolkit is divided into four main pillars and consists of a deck of 120 cards and a mapping chart that functions as a ready-reckoner to understand where you currently are in your awareness, approach and practice of ethical design, and lets you map where you want to progress to.

The Ethics Audit Toolkit

Our Ethics Audit will help you to:
- Identify the purpose, goal and desired outcome of the use-case or product
- Consider perspectives of multiple stakeholders, with emphasis on the interests of users as well as non-users
- Identify universal values important to the use-case and the stakeholders
- Make trade-offs in case of conflict of interest or values
- Consider the impacts of the use-case or product on four dimensions of human well-being (emotional, mental, social and physical)

3. CO-CREATIVE WORKSHOPS

We use our proprietary framework, the Ethical Design Toolkit, which is based on the principle of anticipatory ethics, and approaches ethical issues and impacts from the lens of four dimensions of human well-being. It is used to help clients evaluate existing products through an ethical lens, or guide them during the strategy and design stages while creating new ones.
The toolkit is divided into five main pillars, and consists of a deck of 60 cards and an ethical design canvas that functions as a ready-reckoner for mapping the direction of the product or use-case.
