SCUBA Platform Metrics

Overview

SCUBA stands for Scott’s Completely Unscientific Behaviorist Assessment — a lightly irreverent, yet informative lens on the evolving ABA platform landscape. This page provides background on the methodology, context for interpreting results, and links to all current and past monthly findings.

⚠️ Important Note on Methodology

The SCUBA dataset captures signals of platform traction and investment across the ABA technology ecosystem. But as always, no single metric tells the whole story.

Team size, once a strong signal of scale, now varies widely as modern tools boost productivity.
Growth in client-facing roles (implementation, support, customer success) still indicates market expansion and platform maturity.
Global team presence matters. Vendors like Hi Rasmus and Lumary deploy large international teams to support U.S. operations—not always visible in domestic LinkedIn counts.

Additional context comes from:

Capterra Scores → Reflect customer satisfaction and product maturity
Recent Investment → Signals investor confidence and go-to-market momentum
Tech vs. Provider Hybrid Models → Some platforms serve as both vendors and care providers
Top 35 Provider Logos → Perhaps the most important proxy for platform traction

Taken together, these signals help us understand momentum, not precision. Feedback is always welcome.
