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.

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.
