Running in NYC's largest school district · 1,600 schools

The data is there.
Getting to it shouldn't take three days.

Charter networks and multi-site education organizations run on manual systems that worked at five campuses and break quietly at fifteen. We fix that. Permanently.

The problem
You know the data exists.
Finding it is the problem.

Multi-site education organizations don't have a technology problem. They have a systems problem. The data lives in the right places — it's just in six different spreadsheets, owned by three different people, and assembled manually every month by whoever has time.

The monthly network report takes 2–3 days to assemble and is already slightly out of date when it reaches the board.
Not because the data doesn't exist. Because it lives in six separate files, each owned by someone different, each updated on a different schedule.
When the authorizer asks for cross-campus compliance data, someone spends the next week assembling it from scratch.
The process was designed to get the submission done by the deadline, not to be reproducible or auditable. It works until someone is on leave.
If the person who manages the data were to leave, no one else fully understands the system they built.
Not because they didn't document it. Because the system was built around them — their knowledge, their shortcuts, their workarounds.
Every new campus adds more manual work to a process that was already at its limit.
Each new site adds another file to reconcile, another person to chase, another tab nobody else can touch without breaking something.
You tried to fix it once. You paid someone to build something. The staff went back to spreadsheets within six months.
The build was delivered. The organization was never made to run on it. They handed it over and closed the project.
A board member asks a question live. You can't answer it. The data exists but not in a form you can pull in the room.
This happens every meeting cycle and the workaround is always the same: "I'll follow up." Then someone spends two days finding the number.
None of this is a failure of your team. These are the predictable results of operational systems built for smaller organizations that were never redesigned as you grew. The manual work compounds at every campus, every hire, every renewal cycle. Districtly is built to fix the structure, not paper over it.
How we work
We design it.
We build it.
We stay until it runs.

Nobody else in this space does all three. Most vendors hand you a tool. Most consultants hand you a document. We hand you a working system — and we stay through the first compliance deadline, the first board meeting, and the first new staff member who needs to learn it.

Every build-and-leave vendor
Deliver the build. Hand it over. Close the project.
The build is technically complete. The organization has never actually changed how it works. Within six months the staff are back on spreadsheets because nobody stayed to make the behavior change happen. The $15,000 system sits unused and the problem resets.
Districtly
Build it and stay until the organization actually runs on it.
We scope from a real diagnostic, not a conversation. We build with fixed pricing. We stay through change management, staff training, and the first time someone uses the system under real pressure. The adoption guarantee is in the contract — not in a promises slide.
"I have never been able to answer a board question in real time. This changed how our leadership team actually operates every month."

How we start
We spend half a day
with you before we
propose anything.

We don't pitch a solution before we understand your network. The Network Operations Score session is how we do that — a structured half-day that maps your workflows, scores your organization across six operational dimensions, and produces a working prototype of the highest-priority gap before we leave.

1
We map what actually runs the organization
Not the org chart. The real system — every spreadsheet, every manual process, every piece of institutional knowledge that only one person holds. This usually takes the first hour and it's where the most important things surface.
2
We score across six dimensions
Compliance readiness, reporting reliability, data ownership, authorization risk, staff resilience, and cross-campus visibility. Each scored 0–100 with your leadership present. The score is a number, not a narrative. Both of us can see exactly where the gaps are.
3
We build something real before we leave
The lowest-scoring dimension gets a working prototype built during the session. Not a mockup. Something you can show your board before the invoice arrives.
4
You receive a scoped proposal within 48 hours
Built from your real numbers, not ranges. Fixed pricing. If you proceed, the session fee is credited in full. If we don't find at least three real structural gaps, the session fee is refunded.

Results
Different organizations.
The same problem solved.

Every engagement starts with the same half-day session. What we find — and what we build — is different every time.

What we guarantee
Three things
written into the contract.

Not stated on a call. Not in a slide. In the agreement. Each guarantee addresses the specific thing that has gone wrong before at organizations like yours.

If we start
Week-two working prototype
The first module is live and your team is trained within the agreed timeline. If we miss that milestone through any fault of ours, the first month of the infrastructure fee is waived automatically.
At 60 days
70% staff adoption or we keep working
If measurable staff adoption is below 70% at 60 days, we continue onboarding at no additional charge until it reaches 70%. This is the guarantee that makes the difference between a build and a system that actually changes how an organization operates.
At 90 days
Documented ROI or we extend free
We deliver a documented ROI report. If the measured time savings don't match or exceed your annual infrastructure fee, we extend the subscription at no charge for an equivalent period. The baseline is measured on day one. The verification is documented, not asserted.
Who we work with
The organizations
this was built for.
Charter school networks with 11–40 campuses where cross-campus data is still assembled manually and the monthly report takes more than a day.
School districts with 26–100 schools where building-level data visibility is limited and leadership can't answer board questions in real time.
Religious school networks with 20–75 schools where compliance data quality has never been formally reviewed and renewal preparation is manual.
Multi-site nonprofits with grant-funded programs where quarterly compliance is a fire drill and the same reports are rebuilt from scratch every cycle.
Networks approaching authorizer renewal in the next 12 months where compliance data quality and auditability haven't been formally tested.
Organizations that already tried a tool or build where staff went back to spreadsheets within six months. The issue was the handoff, not the technology.
—
Single-school operators or organizations where any staff member can already reproduce any report independently on any given day.
—
Enterprise districts with internal IT departments and formal procurement requirements. We work best with COO-level decisions, not RFP processes.
