But if you're curious, here are the two people behind it.
Shannon works in transformation consulting, primarily for healthcare and tech companies, walking into organizations that were struggling and working out exactly where, and why. Shannon is the mathlete, which explains a lot.
Most people look at a company and see an org chart. Shannon sees an ecosystem: which parts are thriving, which are under stress, and what's throwing the balance off.
Nat is the other half. She has spent 11 years in communications and organizational leadership for enterprise and Fortune 500 companies, and is always people first.
She also loves baseball and its stats enough to get married in a ballpark. Baseball figured out long ago that the right numbers, shown the right way, change how you manage a team. Nat thinks every organization deserves the same.
A consultant's listening tour costs a fortune, and an engagement survey won't name the problem, give it an address, or surface what's going well. Even with the budget, you only get great data when your people trust the process enough to be honest. So the two of them built a tool that earns that trust, then does the rest.
Shannon gets the math exactly right and builds the models. Nat obsesses over every detail of how it reads and keeps them on track. The result is a finely tuned tool, so useful and so perceptive that the beauty takes care of itself. We call that beautility: push for maximum utility, and beauty will follow. It's a constant, where form and function collide. We invented the word, just like we invented this category, and it's one of our core values.
There is A LOT of math in Parallax, and you will never have to look at any of it.
What you'll see is the health and productivity of your entire organization at a glance, ready to drop straight into your board deck.
