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 AI specialist, data scientist, and Python programmer. He is a best-selling author of a Python programming book and was named an IBM Champion by 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, an AI-assisted behavioral assessment grounded in neuroscience and psychology 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.
Framework Development
Developed the core Pactomics™ framework, drawing on established neuroscience and psychology literature and on iterative feedback from practitioner engagements.
Refinement & Field Testing
Refined the assessment through practitioner engagements and hands-on field testing, sharpening the questions, scoring, and report structure against real-world use.
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 application for Pactomics™ is on file, with registration expected 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™ draws on decades of peer-reviewed neuroscience and psychology research. We describe what the framework does and does not show, and we never overstate the evidence.
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.
