The History Behind
Pactomics™
Learn about the Pactomics story, our mission to unlock true human potential through neuroscience-backed behavioral assessments, and meet our team.
The Beginning
In 2021, Kovid Panthy and Kim J. Baaden founded Impact Yes, LLC, out of a shared desire to transform hospitality leadership. To neither had any behavioral assessments met rigorous scientific standards, or any relevance to application.
Kovid is an accomplished AI specialist, data scientist, Python programmer, and certified neuroscience expert. He is a best-selling author of a Python programming book and was declared an IBM Champion by the renowned technology corporation IBM. Kim is a German Air Force veteran with decades of experience in the psychology of leadership and organizational behavior challenges in the luxury hospitality sector.
They initially posed the following question: “How to bridge neuroscience with actionable leadership training?” This question led to the development of Pactomics, the world's first AI-based neuroscience behavioral assessment and to Impact Yes, a company that is redefining executive soft skills in the 5-star hospitality sector.
The Idea
Kovid and Kim conceptualize Pactomics during a research collaboration, identifying gaps in behavioral assessment tools used by organizations worldwide.
R&D Phase
Conducted extensive internal R&D studies with over 2,500 research papers on neuroscience and psychology to develop the core assessment framework.
Research Validation Phase
Conducted extensive validation studies with over 6,735 participants across 12 countries to strengthen the Pactomics™ assessment framework.
Official Launch
Launched the first version of Pactomics under Impact Yes, LLC, initially serving the hospitality and education industries.
Penetration & Testing
Initial market study to find the product-market fit for Pactomics™ across different industries and domains
IP & Future
The trademark for Pactomics™ is under file and expected to be fully functional by 2027.
We believe that friction is just
a lack of clarity.
For centuries, leaders have tried to solve people problems with improved "soft skills."
But behavior isn't soft. It's hard-wired.
Pactomics exists to decode the source code of human interaction. When you see the wiring, you stop guessing the intent.
Our Core Values
Scientific Rigor
Pactomics™ is rooted in the latest peer-reviewed neuroscience research. We never compromise on scientific validity for convenience.
Practical Insight
Pactomics™ profiles are created with "practicability" in the mind. Therefore it provides you with actionable insights, not just abstract data.
Ethical Responsibility
We believe that behavioral data should be used to empower individuals and organizations, they shall never be used to manipulate or limit potential.
