A structured journal with an AI colleague. Log iterations as you work - what you tried, what changed, what you'd never do again. Ethos sanity-checks results, drafts your next script, and turns the project into a court-ready report at the end.
A code snippet, a result, a simulation log, or one rough sentence. Ethos turns it into suggested stages, then you edit the structure before it becomes a workspace.
Describe a project, paste code, drop a file. I'll structure the rest.
Engineers iterate - every project is a sequence of attempts. Ethos captures that sequence as it happens, not after the fact. By the time you finish, the report is mostly written.
Drag stages in. Each is a decomposable block - Pre-process, Feature engineering, Training, Validation. Every iteration is timestamped and connected to its files.
Ethos reads Abaqus output, your Python, your DIC. Asks questions you'd ask yourself if you weren't tired. Drafts the next script. Doesn't hallucinate - quotes from your log.
geom_holdout_v10.py - applies your existing aug pipeline to the new fold split.Reports are generated from the iteration log - methodology trace, statement of truth, hash-chained audit trail. Annex 22, EU AI Act and CPR Part 35 templates included.
PhDs are the adoption vector. Industry is the customer. Forensic experts are the floor. Every group writes the same things twice - once in their notebook, once in a report. Ethos collapses that.
Stop losing the why. Every dead-end attempt is logged with reasoning. Your viva slides write themselves from the iteration log.
Aerospace, energy, composites, defence. Audit trail by construction; gap-analysis grids for Annex 22, BSR Gateway 2, Ofwat PR24, EU AI Act Annex IV.
CPR Part 35-ready evidence pack. Statement of Truth, methodology trace, single-page exhibits, hash-chained audit. Six documents from one button.
The core journal ships first. Each module is a self-contained pack - bring your own regulator, your own reporting standard, your own data shape. We add new limbs every quarter.
CPR Part 35 evidence kit - six documents, three exhibits, hash-chained audit. Drop-in for engineering experts at Hawkins, Burgoynes, Envista, J.S. Held.
Annex 22 / CS-25 section 1529 - EU AI Act Annex IV - BSR Gateway 2 - Ofwat PR24. Each maps your iteration log to clauses; gaps surface in red.
Group view for supervisors. Researchers, grants, activity, stuck projects. The summary you stop having to write at the end of every quarter.
Parametric Abaqus sweep designer. Provenance tracked from sim to dataset to ML model. The hard part of every ML-for-engineering paper, automated.
"I spent four years iterating in seventeen separate notebooks. Then I had to rebuild the story for examiners. Ethos is the journal I should have started with on day one."Dr V. Sunthareswaran - founder - Astravale
Every research project is a sequence of failed attempts. The successful ones get written up. The failed ones - which are most of them - get scattered across notebooks, slack messages and email threads and never make it into the record.
That's the bit that actually matters. The why-not is the science. The successful run is just the artefact at the end.
So we built a journal that captures the why-not as the default. With an AI colleague who knows what an Abaqus .dat file is, what a mesh convergence study looks like, and when an IoU of 0.74 is too clean to be real.
