What Terrace Metrics does

Terrace Metrics is a Cincinnati-based behavioral health technology organization founded in 2018 by Dr. Kathleen M. Chard (CEO) and Dr. Rich Gilman (President), both licensed psychologists. The company operates a cloud-based assessment and intervention platform that measures validated resiliency and adversity indicators — including Grit, Hope, Global Satisfaction, Leadership, Anxiety, Depression, Self-Criticism, and Peer Victimization — and links assessment results directly to a tiered curriculum structure aligned with the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework. The technology backbone is a normed, peer-reviewed indicator system with extensive psychometric validation across hundreds to thousands of studies per indicator; outputs are confidential individual reports plus de-identified aggregate dashboards and standardized tier-based curricula (Tier 1 universal / Tier 2 small-group / Tier 3 intensive 1-on-1).

The platform is organized around four vertical sub-brand solutions — K-12 Schools, General Workplace, Clinical Settings + Court System, and First Responders — supported by a Partner Home Portal, TM University facilitator training and certification, and a sample reports suite. Terrace Metrics operates a subscription-based business model with multi-year contracts sold primarily through enterprise field sales to school districts, HR/wellness departments, clinical and justice settings, and first responder agencies; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Scale signals include administration to over 5 million students and 500,000 workers in the last five years, deployment in hundreds of specialized clinical settings across the U.S., and satisfaction metrics in the 94–98% range. No external funding rounds, revenue figures, or institutional ownership have been disclosed.
