## Full description

Research should feel challenging
because of the ideas
not the software.

That belief is what led to the creation of Metis.

Metis is a free desktop application designed to make PLS-SEM more approachable for students, researchers, lecturers, and academic teams. It was built for people who want to focus on understanding their models and interpreting results, instead of struggling through complicated software or technical coding requirements. Metis was developed to remove some of these barriers like cost and subscription and create a smoother, more supportive experience for research analysis.

With Metis, users can visually build their models, import datasets, run analyses, and explore results through a guided workflow that feels clear and practical. Although the software is powered by R and SEMinR, users do not need to write code to use it. The goal is to make advanced statistical analysis more accessible without sacrificing academic quality. You could still export your results as R code or import R code of any previous analysis you have done in R.

Metis is not taking challenging R users but making sure they can get a nice graphical output of their path model while keeping their code.
