Sleep & Recovery
The single largest overnight modulator of attention, working memory and emotional regulation. Deficits compound silently across a workforce.
The Science behind high performing Teams
The metric your company has never measured.
For decades, organizations have measured output. Soma Performance measures the underlying drivers that create it — with scientific rigor, at the level of the individual.
Chapter IA thesis on business performance
Companies optimizeeverything.Except the peoplecreating the results.
The blind spot
Modern organizations spend extraordinary sums optimizing nearly every surface of the business — marketing, sales, software, automation, artificial intelligence, operations, supply chains, manufacturing, logistics.
Yet one of the largest drivers of enterprise performance receives surprisingly little attention: The cognitive performance of the employees themselves.
Premise
Every outcome a company produces — every decision, every product, every negotiation, every line of code, every strategy — is ultimately the result of a person thinking, deciding, communicating and executing. The quality of that thinking is not incidental.
Everything else perform better when people do

Most wellness programs support employees.Few understand what holds them back.
The unanswered question
For years, companies have invested in employee well-being through gym memberships, mindfulness programs, coaching, health days and webinars. These initiatives can improve engagement, reduce stress and support healthier lifestyles.
Yet one fundamental question often remains unanswered:
What is actually limiting the performance of each individual employee?
Our commitment
We want to measure what actually creates performance.
The problem isn't a lack of wellness.It's a lack of understanding.
Our approach
Traditional wellness programs often provide the same resources to everyone while measuring participation, satisfaction or engagement.
We take a different approach.
Before recommending a single intervention, we identify the specific behavioral patterns that limit cognitive performance for every individual employee.
Every employee is different.So is their path to peak performance.
One employee may primarily be limited by poor sleep, while another is affected by inconsistent nutrition, chronic stress, ineffective work habits or insufficient recovery.
Treating every employee the same means overlooking what makes each individual different.
That's why every employee receives a personalized, evidence-based performance report that identifies the behavioral factors limiting their cognitive performance and provides an individualized performance strategy specifically developed to maximize their long-term cognitive performance.
Chapter IIThe Science
Built on Science. Designed for real life.
Every recommendation generated by Soma is based on current scientific evidence — and translated into practical, easy actions that employees will realistically implement.
Our approach
Not one expert. A convergence of fields.
Soma does not rely on a single expert, a single study, or a single discipline. Scientific research is often difficult to apply in everyday work — and most people simply don't have the time to search through papers, filter opinions, and separate signal from the noise.
Instead, every recommendation is developed by combining the current best understanding from multiple scientific fields with expert consensus — then distilled into something an employee can actually do every day.

Chapter IIIPerformance has drivers
Performance isn't random.It's measurable.It's improvable.
Cognitive performance is not determined by a single factor. It emerges from a small number of measurable behavioral systems that work together. Understanding these systems is the foundation of the SOMA model.
The SOMA ModelSix measurable drivers
02
Nutrition & Hydration
Glucose stability, micronutrient sufficiency and hydration determine the substrate on which every cognitive process runs.
03
Movement & Fitness
Aerobic capacity and daily movement drive cerebral blood flow, BDNF expression and long-term cognitive resilience.
04
Work Habits
How attention is structured across a day — focus blocks, transitions, meetings, recovery — is a stronger predictor of output than hours worked.
05
Stress Management
Autonomic balance sets the ceiling for creativity, decision quality and interpersonal effectiveness under load.
06
Supplementation
When the fundamentals are in place, targeted, evidence-based supplementation can help address specific deficiencies and provide the final performance advantage.
05How Soma works
Four stepsOne clear process
- 01
Assessment
The employee completes a structured, scientific evaluation across six driver domains.
- 02
Analysis
Every assessment is analyzed to identify the highest-impact factors limiting individual cognitive performance.
- 03
Strategy
Every employee receives a personalized, evidence-based framework for improving their cognitive performance.
- 04
Improvement
The strategies are designed to create lasting behavioral change, helping employees build habits that improve performance long after the assessment.
06Sample performance report
Written for a single person. Never a segment.
Integrated analysis
Every Employee. Individually.
Every report is built around one individual—not team averages, generic categories, or standardized recommendations. Because meaningful performance improvement starts with understanding the individual.
Privacy & confidentiality
Your data stays yours
Every assessment contains highly personal information. That's why privacy, confidentiality and scientific integrity are built into SOMA from the very beginning. Confidential by default: individual reports are private, employees have exclusive access to their personal results, and organizations only access authorized information. Every employee deserves personalized insights—and complete confidence in how their data is handled.
