Operator Manifesto

Burnout is not a character flaw. It is a load-management failure: too much demand, too little recovery, repeated long enough that the body starts treating normal work like threat.

Why this exists

sixbpm was built for people who operate under pressure and need a small, repeatable way to come down. Not a content feed. Not a coach. Not another account. A tool you can run for 15 minutes, then get back to your life.

The operating rules

• Recovery is infrastructure. If you depend on your nervous system, you maintain it.
• Measure gently. Blood pressure, HRV, and breathing data are signals, not identity.
• Do less, consistently. Fifteen minutes daily beats heroic rescue attempts after collapse.
• Respect air hunger. Slower is not always better. Sustainable is the target.
• No theater. The practice should work without subscriptions, streaks, leaderboards, or wellness language.

What this is not

This is not medical care, therapy, or a substitute for changing impossible workloads. Slow breathing can help shift physiology, but it cannot make a broken operating environment healthy.

For operators

sixbpm was developed by ConsultDex, a small project focused on helping operators use AI with more clarity, judgment, and durability. This app is one piece of that work: practical tooling, open iteration, and a bias toward sustainable pace over hype.

The point

Come down on purpose. Do it before the body forces the issue. Keep the practice small enough that you actually repeat it.
