Built by someone who lived the problem.
Grounded in science. Built for you.

A 30-year IT and project management veteran built a tool for the problem he has lived.

The founder of CogniSource spent three decades leading IT infrastructure, directing large-scale datacenter and systems migrations, managing complex delivery programs, and advising organizations on architecture, risk, and operations. He carried the kind of workload CogniSource was built to measure: where the invisible tasks outnumber the visible ones and unplanned work arrives faster than it can be absorbed. He tried every tool on the market: Wrike, Trello, Excel, Planner, Project, OneNote, Supernote, Evernote, you name‑it‑note. They tracked tasks; none of them measured risk. So he built CogniSource.

The six Key Risk Indicators are not theoretical constructs: they are the signals he learned to watch across years of delivery under pressure: the solo-owned project with no backup; the capacity that fills silently until the queue collapses; the blocked dependency nobody escalates until it is too late; the meeting hours that fragment the day into pieces too small to use. Every other tool ignored them: the invisible work creeping in unplanned, the interruptions nobody logged. CogniSource makes those signals visible and quantified, so you see them before it’s too late.

In the founder’s 1.5 years of journaling every work task: 55–60% of all tasks were unplanned. Dumped by colleagues, urgent directives, incidents. Never measured. Never warned about. Just absorbed. And most demanded instant attention and immediate satisfaction from whoever dumped them.

Built by someone who tried everything
and left everything.

CogniSource offers a clearly superior analytical layer. No personal productivity tool on the market computes a multi-factor cognitive-risk score from your own data, grounded in peer-reviewed research. This is as close to the truth as you are going to get about what your workload is doing to you.

We don’t pretend to know your workload better than you do. We reflect your own data back to you with a proprietary framework built on peer-reviewed research. The Research page shows every source. We didn’t make this up. Every task deadline, effort size, interruption, and meeting you log becomes the input. The framework runs on that.

If the data is accurate, the scores and insights you see are accurate. A mirror, not a crystal ball.

CogniSource was not built for your company. It was built for you.

This is not a supervision tool. It does not report to your manager, give your organization visibility into how you work, or serve anyone but the person using it. Your scores, your risks, your workload signals exist for one purpose: to give you a clearer picture of your own pressure so you can act on it before it acts on you. We are on your side. That is the only side we are on.
