Strata Intel

Our Story

Strata Intel is a performance intelligence platform designed to help organizations measure, understand, and optimize the hidden variable driving every outcome—stress.

The Founder

Strata Intel was founded by Dr. Jon Ashton, a clinical psychologist whose work has focused on understanding how stress affects people—and how that impact shows up in teams.

Since 1995, Dr. Ashton has gathered data from thousands of hours of clinical work, identifying patterns in human behavior that often go unnoticed in traditional workplace tools.

The Partnership

When Dr. Ashton shared this idea with longtime friend and former Pennant Group CEO Daniel Walker, the two recognized a powerful connection between clinical insight and executive leadership.

Together, they launched Strata Intel to bring this vision to life—giving leaders a simple, effective way to understand the internal dynamics of their teams and act before problems escalate.

Our Mission

The goal isn't to diagnose individuals—it's to help teams grow stronger together and ultimately unlock their full potential.

By transforming how leaders view and manage well-being across their teams, Strata Intel enables organizations to achieve sustainable high performance through clarity, data, and actionable insight.

What We Do

At Strata Intel, we measure the relationship between Strain and Resilience within individuals and organizations. Clinically backed assessments identify risks, strengths, and recovery factors, helping individuals perform at their best and enabling leaders to replicate strengths, examine weaknesses, and sustain best practices. Individuals who take the assessment receive personalized insight on five researched domains that most influence their performance.

For Employees

Employees engage through monthly, domain-specific pulse assessments and personalized feedback designed to promote self-reflection and growth. Together, these insights form a continuous feedback loop that strengthens both individual and organizational performance.
