Known patterns worth applying
Automation bias, digital wellbeing, workplace burnout: substantial bodies of work that already tell us what to do.
The human side of AI
AI is changing how you think.Start noticing.

Hear the conversation01 — What we measure
Eight capacities.
None of them on a dashboard.
AI adoption is measured in tokens, seats and hours saved. These are the capacities that actually pay for it, and none of them show up in a usage report.

Do you check what matters?
Checking is unglamorous, slow, and the only thing standing between a useful draft and a confident mistake.

02 — Calibration
Start with
a better question.
One real question from the assessment, with a reflection that changes depending on your answer. No account, no email, no score to chase.
03 — For organizations
Adopt AI.
Keep your people strong.
Individuals see their own picture. Leaders see the pattern. Nobody sees a person, and the room cannot report on fewer than twelve people.
Private by design, not by policy.
The calibration is answered in the browser and belongs to the person who answered it. Aggregation happens on device counts, never on individual rows — so a manager cannot ask for “just one person’s result”, because the system never has one.
01A private calibrationEmployees answer without their responses appearing in an employer dashboard.
02Anonymous aggregationGroup-level signals only, suppressed below twelve respondents.
03A measured interventionLiteracy, focus protection, verification habits, and a re-assessment plan.

04 — Evidence
Evidence before
certainty.
There is real research here, and there is a great deal of guessing dressed as research. We label the difference on every claim we make.
Signals worth studying
Early research on generative AI, cognitive engagement, reliance and social behaviour. Suggestive, not settled.
Hypotheses, not headlines
Questions that need longitudinal study before anyone, including us, should make a strong claim about them.
Every claim on this site is labelled by confidence, and no citation is invented
05 — Human support
When it matters,
speak to a person.
A wellbeing product that only offers software is not a wellbeing product. Humenra is designing a route out of the screen — starting with one confidential conversation with someone qualified.
Explore human support01 — GuideA confidential first conversation to work out what kind of support fits.
02 — ProfessionalA referral pathway to licensed counsellors and psychologists, where appropriate.
03 — CommunityFacilitated peer groups and offline programmes built for actual company.
Eight minutes. One honest look.
Eight chapters, a reflection after each one, and a balance card you can keep. Your answers stay in this browser — closing the tab closes the session.
