Built on cognitive science

Miller's Law

In 1956, psychologist George Miller demonstrated that the human brain can only hold 7 (±2) items in working memory at once. Overload that limit and decision-making breaks down.

BowTie Risk is designed around this principle. The bowtie structure deliberately organises complex risk information into focused, bounded groups — threats on one side, consequences on the other — so your brain can process each element clearly without becoming overwhelmed.

Chunked information

Threats, controls and consequences are each grouped separately, keeping each chunk within cognitive limits.

Visual clarity over data overload

A single bowtie replaces pages of text — letting you see the full risk picture at a glance, not wade through it.

Better decisions under pressure

When risks are structured to match how the brain works, teams respond faster and more accurately in critical situations.

Simple, transparent pricing

Start free on any platform. The Mac version offers the most powerful experience — larger canvas, easier to navigate, and built for professional workflows.
