Every employee is costing you €9–15K a year. None of it shows on a dashboard.
Burnout, disengagement, and training nobody finishes. EdCortex measures the loss against your own headcount — then recovers it for 1–2% of its value.

The problem
Cognition is the asset no one measures
Brain skills and brain health drive performance — yet neither is measured until the cost shows up as errors, absence and attrition.
the cost of the cognitive blind spot
For a 400-person site: €3.6–6M a year
Measured three ways — each figure is per employee, per year
Burnout & disengagement drain
rises with seniority: staff → managers → executives
One actively disengaged employee
18–34% of a €50K salary, in lost output and absence
Training that never lands
of ~€1,200 spent — 85% never engage with the platform
Overlapping measures of one loss — quoted as the conservative envelope, not summed.
Lee et al., Am J Prev Med, 2025 ($3,999 hourly · $10,824 manager · $20,683 executive) · Gallup State of the Global Workplace (disengagement 18–34% of salary; 85% platform non-engagement, 2024) · ATD State of the Industry, 2025–26 ($846–1,254 training spend / employee).
Why it stays invisible
You already pay for tools that can't see this
Learning platforms measure completion. Engagement surveys measure mood. Neither measures cognition — so neither catches the loss before it becomes attrition.
Training platforms
- —Generic GenAI content
- —Same course, same pace, everyone
- —Completion ≠ competence
- —85% never engage at all
Monitoring & surveys
- —One-size-fits-all questionnaires
- —Self-reported, twice a year
- —Data without an intervention
- —A dashboard, not an outcome
EdCortex
- ✓32-trait cognitive profile per employee
- ✓Profile-specific, predictive interventions
- ✓Neuro-adaptive — 20% of staff are neurodivergent
- ✓Closed loop: measure → intervene → re-measure
What changes
One platform, three sets of outcomes
For the employee
Learning tuned to their own cognitive profile, a private coach, and full ownership of their brain-health data.
For L&D
Turn your existing documents into adaptive courses — no authoring. Quizzes and assessments generated automatically.
For HR & leadership
Real competency per role, anonymised wellbeing trends, and a defensible psychosocial-risk baseline.
Before you ask
The three questions that usually stop this
“Our works council will block anything that profiles staff.”
Employees own their brain-health data. Employers see team-level aggregates only — nothing individual is ever extracted, so there is nothing for a works council to object to. We'll give you the consultation pack.
“Our data can't go into a commercial GenAI tool.”
It doesn't. Each client runs a dedicated, locally deployed language model. Zero leakage to third-party GenAI providers. GDPR-compliant and EU AI Act-ready by architecture, not by policy.
“We can't run a twelve-month procurement for this.”
You don't need to. Start with a two-month fixed-scope pilot on a single department, priced below most procurement thresholds. The pilot fee is credited in full if you convert.
