Most burnout advice tells you to cope better.
It treats a workload problem as a personal one
Burnout is driven substantially by conditions — workload, lack of control, unfairness, values mismatch. Breathing exercises don't resolve a sixty-hour week, and implying they should is its own kind of harm.
A tool that calls you 'Critical' isn't helping
An AI can't assess that, and a severity label lands as a verdict. Telling an already depleted person they're heading for a breakdown does damage no recovery plan undoes.
Burnout and depression look almost identical
Only a professional can distinguish them — and the difference changes what actually helps. Exhaustion can also be thyroid trouble, anaemia or sleep apnoea.
Then it gives you a streak to maintain
Turning recovery into another performance with a daily score is exactly the mechanism that got you here.

Questions
Everything you need to know.
Does it give me a burnout score?
No, and that's deliberate. It describes what your answers suggest in plain language — 'a lot of the exhaustion and detachment people mean by burnout' — rather than assigning you a level. An AI can't assess severity, and a label like 'Critical' lands as a verdict on someone who is already depleted.
Is this a diagnosis?
No. Burnout is classified by the WHO as an occupational phenomenon rather than a medical condition, and this is a structured self-reflection, not an assessment instrument. What it does do is tell you clearly when what you've described is better taken to a GP than worked on alone.
How do I know if it's burnout or depression?
You largely can't, and neither can this — they overlap heavily and only a professional can distinguish them. The signal it watches for is whether the flatness stays attached to work or follows you everywhere; when nothing feels good, including things unrelated to work, that points toward a GP visit rather than better boundaries.
What if the problem is my job, not me?
Then it says so. It splits what's driving this into the situation and what you have some say over, and it's honest that for many people most of it sits in the first category. It will name when the realistic answer is fewer hours, a different role, proper leave or a different job — rather than suggesting you cope better with something unmanageable.
I have no energy for a recovery programme.
It asks about that directly and sizes the suggestions to the answer. If you say you have almost none, you get two small things and explicit permission to do neither on a bad day — because a recovery plan that demands energy from someone who has none is the same trap as the workload.
What if things are really bad?
If what you describe includes hopelessness or thoughts of harming yourself, it stops the exercise entirely, says so warmly and directly, and points you to crisis support in your country rather than continuing with a plan. That comes before anything else in the toolkit.
