What cognittiv does

Cognittiv is a Brazilian SaaS company that provides a cognitive readiness monitoring platform for workers in high-risk industries. The platform is delivered as an online web and mobile application in which employees complete a 2–3 minute computerized test before shifts; the test measures visual perception, attention, short-term memory, motor readiness and decision-making using psychophysical methods, and produces real-time quantitative scores that trigger automated action plans when readiness is compromised. The product is complemented by an in-loco neuroergonomic analysis service that maps cognitive demand to specific work functions and feeds the platform's adaptive testing algorithm, plus management dashboards for operational leaders.

Cognittiv generates revenue through subscription-based SaaS contracts sold via an enterprise field-sales motion to oil & gas, petrochemical, mining and heavy manufacturing customers. Named enterprise clients include Braskem (330+ monitored employees across two Alagoas plants), PRIO (offshore Frade Platform), Oceaneering International, SLB, Porto do Açu, Foresea, Seagems, Sunshield and MV Power. Documented customer outcomes include a 45% reduction in human error incidents at PRIO, three years without accidents among monitored Braskem teams, and an estimated nine serious accidents avoided based on historical incident baselines.

The company originated as RZX Tecnologia, founded in 2017 at Universidade Federal de Itajubá with Petrobras support, and was spun off as Cognittiv in 2024 to expand beyond oil well drilling into broader operational safety markets. The company is headquartered in Brazil, operates with 11–50 employees, is LGPD-compliant with a designated Data Protection Officer, and has received international recognition including Darcy Partners Top Innovator 2024, SPE Brazil Best Startup 2024, Free Electrons Top 30 2026, and SEBRAE Sebastião Startups Top 1,000 in 2026.

Core offering

Cognittiv provides an online SaaS platform that combines neuroscience and technology to assess workers' daily cognitive readiness before shifts in high-risk industries. Workers complete a 2-3 minute psychophysical cognitive task measuring visual perception, attention, short-term memory, motor readiness, and decision-making, with real-time analysis, action plan triggers, and management dashboards. The offering is complemented by in-loco neuroergonomic analysis services that adapt tests to specific work functions.

Product overview

Cognittiv is a cognitive readiness monitoring platform that combines neuroscience and proprietary technology to assess worker cognitive readiness daily before shifts in high-risk industries. The core Cognittiv Platform is a fully online, SaaS-based application accessed via mobile phone or tablet, where workers complete a brief cognitive task (2-3 minutes) measuring visual perception, attention, short-term memory, motor readiness, and decision-making. This core platform is complemented by Neuroergonomic Analysis services (in-loco workspace analysis that feeds the algorithm and adapts tests to specific roles) and Management Dashboards for operational leaders. The Action Plan System automatically triggers interventions when readiness is compromised. The platform applies psychophysical measurement methods to generate quantitative, individual-level metrics and learn personal baselines for comparisons over time.

Products and services

• Cognittiv Platform An online SaaS platform combining neuroscience and technology to assess daily cognitive readiness of workers in high-risk industries (oil and gas, petrochemical, mining, manufacturing). Workers complete a brief cognitive task (2-3 minutes) on mobile or tablet before shifts, measuring visual perception, attention, short-term memory, motor readiness, and decision-making using psychophysical methods, generating real-time feedback and triggering action plans when readiness is compromised.
• Neuroergonomic Analysis An in-loco analysis service that identifies opportunities to improve the physical workspace and reduce risk exposure. This analysis generates data that feeds the platform's algorithm, adapting cognitive tests to specific work functions and roles.
