Designed for Flexibility

Operational Modules are designed to be implemented independently or as part of a broader CUSP deployment. This flexible approach allows agencies to address immediate needs while building a long-term analytics strategy at their own pace.

One Platform. One Source of Truth.

Whether deployed as a single module or as part of the full CUSP platform, Operational Modules connect to a common data model that supports consistent reporting, analysis, and decision-making across programs.

By drawing from the same trusted data source, agencies can reduce duplication, improve transparency, and maintain confidence in the information used to guide operations and policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are CUSP Operational Modules and how are they different from CUSP Foundation?

CUSP Operational Modules are early childhood targeted analytics modules built for specific state agency functions, licensing, auditing, program lifecycle tracking, and more. While CUSP Foundation is the core data infrastructure that standardizes and organizes your program data, Operational Modules sit on top of that layer to deliver focused, event-driven analytics for particular teams and use cases. Think of CUSP Foundation as the engine and Operational Modules as the specialized instruments that help each team, compliance, finance, policy, and quality, act on that data in real time. Together, they form a comprehensive early childhood analytics platform that supports state agency data-driven oversight from one trusted source.

Can my state use a CUSP Operational Module without already having CUSP Foundation?

Yes. CUSP Operational Modules are available as standalone or compatible system add-ons, meaning they can integrate with your state's existing data infrastructure even if you have not yet implemented CUSP Foundation. Each module is configurable to agency-specific needs, so 3Si works with your team to connect it to your current data environment. That said, states using CUSP Foundation benefit from deeper integration and a single source of truth across all modules, making it easier to scale from one module into a full suite over time.

Which operational module is right for our licensing compliance team vs our audit team?

For licensing compliance teams, the Child Care Licensing Compliance Analytics Module, which includes the early childhood license renewal tracking module and child care licensing compliance team analytics tool, is designed to monitor provider renewals, track compliance status, and flag issues before they escalate. For audit and finance teams, the Early Childhood Risk Audit Analytics Module delivers defensible audit selection analytics, a child care provider risk scoring module, and an early childhood finance audit team analytics platform that helps reduce audit backlog and strengthen oversight. Both modules can be deployed independently or together, depending on your agency's priorities.

When will Early Intervention, Funding Accessibility, and Learning & Care Experience modules be available?

The Early Childhood Early Intervention Analytics Module, Child Care Funding Accessibility Analytics Module, and Child Care Learning Care Experience Analytics Module are all currently in development and listed as Coming Soon. 3Si has not published specific release dates for these modules publicly, but you can book a consultation to learn more about timelines and to be notified when they become available. If your state has an urgent need for child care funding, equity barriers, analytics, or early childhood child identification intervention analytics, our team can discuss early access or scoping options.

How do CUSP Operational Modules connect to the CUSP Foundation data model?

CUSP modules connect to the CUSP Foundation data layer through a standardized data model that serves as one source of truth for all analytics across your agency. When an Operational Module is deployed, it pulls directly from this shared data environment, meaning your licensing compliance analytics, program lifecycle analytics, and risk audit analytics all reference the same underlying program records, provider data, and compliance history. This eliminates data silos, reduces manual reconciliation, and ensures that every report your team generates is consistent, traceable, and backed by a FERPA-compliant cloud infrastructure.
