Brain exercise for consultants in the AI-deck era.
Deck-building, research synthesis, and client-comms drafting all run through AI — the underlying reasoning and writing practice shrinks. Senwitt is the daily practice that keeps consultant judgment and storytelling sharp.
What is Senwitt for consultants?
For strategy, management, and tech consultants, Senwitt is a short daily practice for the reasoning, writing, reading, and memory skills that AI tools now mediate at the deck, research, and client-comms layer. It is not a consulting tool. It is the seven-minute daily surface where consultant judgment and storytelling stay in regular practice.
Why this matters for consultants
Consulting workflows in 2026 are AI-saturated. Deck slides start with generative outlines. Market-research synthesis runs through AI summarizers. Client-comms drafts come pre-written by a model. The reasoning-from-data and writing-from-insight muscles that define consulting practice get less daily volume than they used to.

Recommended Skills for your daily Set
- SkillReasoning for consultantsLogic, deduction, comparison, and decision-making in seven-minute Sets.
- SkillWriting for consultantsShort daily reps for the sentences you still want to write yourself.
- SkillReading for consultantsAttention, comprehension, inference, and recall in short daily passages.
- SkillMemory for consultantsRecall, association, sequencing, and working-memory style reps.
How the habit fits your day
Consultants typically slot Senwitt into the morning before client calls, the airport-lounge window between flights, or the post-readout decompression. Seven minutes fits any travel-heavy schedule.

The consultant-specific risk
Consulting is a profession built on the speed at which a generalist can construct a defensible argument from incomplete data. That is exactly what AI tools now do in seconds, and exactly the activity that built consultant judgment over years. The 2026 BCG/HBR study covered in Fortune (Fortune) — measuring AI-related mental fatigue among knowledge workers — was authored by BCG, a firm with significant exposure to exactly this dynamic. The honesty of that paper matters; the underlying observation applies to working consultants directly.
The 2025 EDUCAUSE paradox piece (EDUCAUSE) and Microsoft Research's 2025 CHI study (Lee, Sarkar et al.) describe the same pattern: AI-assisted output quality goes up, critical thinking engagement during the task goes down. For consultants whose value rests on the second variable more than the first, the trade-off is asymmetric.
The 7-minute window in a travel week
Consulting calendars are notoriously hostile to multi-hour personal habits. The seven-minute Set is built to survive the airport lounge, the client-site morning, the post-readout decompression. The Skill mix — Reasoning, Writing, Reading, Math — overlaps directly with the daily cognitive work the role rests on.

Not brain training. Brain exercise.
Senwitt is a daily brain exercise app, not a brain training program. We do not claim to improve general cognition, prevent cognitive decline, or treat any condition. Independent scientific consensus — the 2014 Stanford Center on Longevity / Max Planck Institute statement signed by 70 neuroscientists, the 2016 Simons et al. review in Psychological Science in the Public Interest, and the FTC's 2016 settlement with Lumos Labs — has concluded that “brain training” claims are not supported by the evidence. Senwitt is built on a different premise: skills you actively practice get sharper; skills you stop practicing fade.
