The people behind the numbers
A small Swiss team. The analysis engine, the physiological models and this site are built by the people on this page: that is the whole company, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise.
Gian
Owns the physiology. The CP-based zone system, the two-segment substrate model, the fractional-utilization thresholds behind the training focus, and the reference values every report is scored against are his.

- Nino Schuler: Founder · Product & Engineering. Built the platform: the FIT parser, the analysis pipeline, the report generator and this website. Decides what ships and what does not.
- Mathis Zehnder: Videography · Motion. Shoots everything that moves. The drone footage over the pass, the two step films in How It Works, and the report animations on The Science are his: the site's whole visual language is footage he shot.
How we work
Every model in the report is written down before it is coded, and the code is checked against a reference implementation rather than against whether the output looks plausible. A number that looks right for the wrong reason is worse than one that is obviously broken.
When a value cannot be measured, it gets labelled as modelled or assumed and the assumption is written on the science page. We would rather lose a sale to a competitor quoting a more confident number than have a rider train off a value we quietly guessed.
The site and the report are built in German and English together, not translated afterwards. A report you read in your second language costs you accuracy, and this one is dense enough already.

Questions about a report, a team or club package, or something we got wrong: the same address reaches all of us, and one of the people on this page answers it.
Why we built this
The short version: knowing where you stand should not cost enough to stop you finding out twice.
