About Us

The InsightFill intelligent report-writing system is a culmination of years of research and development that intertwines best practices for writing psychological assessment reports, combined with innovative technology that automates report-writing processes.

InsightFill was co-founded by Melissa Cait, an experienced, practising psychologist, and Douglas Simpson, a computer scientist and lawyer.

Melissa Cait is the Clinic Director of Cornerstone Psychological Services in Toronto. She was trained at York University (1982), at the University of Toronto (1985) and, years later, she went back and graduated from the diplomate program in school neuropsychology in 2009 (ABSNP). She has worked in the field of school/educational psychology for more than 30 years including employment in a hospital setting, in child welfare and in a large school district. She was appointed to the College of Psychologists of Ontario where she was a member of the Registration Committee and she has been a peer auditor. For about 6 years, she was a member of the NASP Convention Committee and Co-Chair of the Toronto NASP Convention. Currently, she is the founder and director of Cornerstone Psychological Services in Toronto Canada.

Since much of Melissa’s practice is assessment-driven, she really understands what it means to be “under the gun” to score, interpret and write reports quickly and accurately. She also has struggled with training and supervising new team members who don’t share a common nomenclature. Along with this, she has found it hard to strike a balance between writing with scientific integrity and making her reports “user-friendly” for families, clients, and educators. After years of researching what is “best practice” along with “what is best understood” by the public, Melissa believes that she and her teammates have learned the art form of meaningful communication to understand the person behind the scores and InsightFill makes this process much easier.

Douglas Simpson is both a lawyer (graduated from Osgoode Hall Law School in 1980) and a computer scientist (graduated from McMaster University in in 1977). In 2014, Doug was honoured to be inducted as a Fellow of the College of Law Practice Management.

In addition to practising law, Doug has more than two decades of experience in developing computer software for law practice automation, focusing on "document automation" technology that rapidly generates legal forms and documents such as wills, court documents, contracts and reports. He was a founder/co-founder of multiple successful legal technology companies. He has now applied this experience to the automation of psychological assessment reports - first, by assisting Melissa in her psychology practice, then by expanding the solution to work generally for other practitioners.
