Grounded in practice, accountable to clinicians

Cadence automates the work around clinical data - never the clinical judgment. Here is how we keep it accountable to the standards ABA is held to.

Our clinical principles

  • The BCBA is the decision-maker. Agents analyze data and propose changes; a qualified clinician reviews and either accepts or rejects every one. Nothing clinical is applied automatically.
  • Faithful to the measurement systems. Cadence supports all eight ABA measurement systems and evaluates mastery, maintenance, and phase changes against the rule in force for each target - not a one-size-fits-all heuristic.
  • Aligned to professional standards. Supervision, co-signature, and documentation workflows are built around BACB professional and ethical expectations for behavior analysts and the technicians they supervise.

Supervision and compliance, built in

RBT-authored notes route to the assigned supervisor for co-signature. Credentials and expirations are tracked, and a supervision-ratio view surfaces where on-site coverage is thin. A Compliance agent flags unsigned notes, missing co-signatures, and authorization gaps before they become audit findings - as prompts for a human, not automatic actions.

How agents stay accountable

  • Attested, append-only records. A signed note or report is never silently edited - corrections are separately attested, sequenced addenda, so the clinical record stays honest.
  • A tamper-evident audit trail. Every consequential action is logged and sealed, so who did what - and what an agent proposed - is always reconstructable.
  • Explainable proposals. When an agent suggests a change, it shows the data behind it, so the reviewing clinician is deciding with evidence, not deferring to a black box.

AI accuracy & safety goes through the technical guardrails behind those commitments, and interobserver agreement covers the reliability check every one of them ultimately rests on.

Help shape it

We’re building Cadence in close partnership with practicing behavior analysts, and we’re growing a clinical advisory group to keep it honest as it grows. If you’re a BCBA or clinical director who wants a direct line into how these tools work - where automation helps, and where it must stay out of the way - we want to hear from you.
