Platform · Cognitive Load

Protect flow. Assign by cognitive load, not hours.

Traditional capacity planning counts hours and job titles. Lornian measures the mental load of every task and routes it to the right person at the right moment, so deep work stays protected.

35% of developers juggle 6-10 tools every day. The resulting context-switching destroys flow, and title-based assignment overloads people with work that does not match what they are actually doing.

How the load score is built

01

Fluid Scopes

Every teammate keeps a short, human-written summary of their current focus, updated each sprint. The AI assigns by real accountability, not a static job title.

02

Weighted Load Score

Each task gets a Cognitive Weight: Intrinsic Load (inherent difficulty) plus Extraneous Load (the cost of every extra tool it touches). CW = IL + EL.

03

AI-driven IL

Intrinsic Load is computed from historical velocity, code churn, and Halstead complexity in the affected files. Objective scoring that updates as the codebase evolves.

04

Deep Work Protection

When active load crosses your Cognitive Threshold, new pushes are blocked and non-urgent notifications snooze automatically until capacity frees up.

Where the load score shows up

Mental Bandwidth meter

A live capacity gauge replaces the calendar heat-map, updating in real time as tasks are assigned, completed, or re-scoped.

AI request triage

Incoming requests are pre-weighted and matched to the best-fit assignee before they ever hit the backlog, eliminating admin fatigue.

Threshold automation

Configurable per-person thresholds trigger Deep Work Protection automatically. No manual “do not disturb” toggling.

Complementary routing

Heavy computation routes to AI; nuanced, human-judgment work routes to the right person. The platform plays to each strength.
