The platform behind the science

Madison SRC builds Portico, the secure platform where psychology practices and the agencies they serve work together across every stage of the personnel lifecycle. Each evaluation is performed by a licensed psychologist and delivered through Portico: structured, evidence-driven, and fully documented.

FAQs

Clear answers to the questions agencies ask before they engage us.

What makes MSRC different?

Public safety evaluation standards vary by state and by provider. Portico holds every evaluation on it to one rigorous standard instead: validated instruments and a structured protocol built into the platform, so the process runs the same way every time, whichever provider performs it and whichever agency receives it. The result is a defensible report, not a vague opinion.

How does Portico work?

Portico is the secure platform where the evaluation actually runs: scheduling, records, and finalized reports in one place. The psychologist and your agency work in the same system, so you see status as it happens and every assessment carries a documented chain of custody. You track progress without chasing emails.

What services do you offer?

Portico supports pre-employment evaluations, leadership competence (promotional) evaluations, and safeguard and wellness evaluations. Pre-employment and leadership competence evaluations are performed and signed by licensed psychologists; safeguard and wellness evaluations are performed by licensed clinicians. Every evaluation is built to reduce risk and strengthen your personnel decisions.

How long do evaluations take?

Timelines depend on the service and complexity. A standard pre-employment report is typically finalized within days of the completed interview. We move fast because operational tempo demands it.

Is the process confidential?

Rigorously. Wellness checks protect individual privacy while giving leadership high-level trend data. All records are secured within Portico, with access strictly controlled.
