Outcome Verification Software
WIOA indicators and Workforce Pell eligibility are both scored on verified employment in the second quarter after exit. Capstone verifies that quarter and produces the report. One dataset. Both reports.
The gap
WIOA scores six primary indicators. Two of them measure employment in the second quarter and the fourth quarter after exit. A third measures median earnings in the second quarter. Workforce Pell uses the same window. A program holds eligibility at 70 percent completion and 70 percent verified job placement, measured in the second quarter after a student completes.
Most programs record completion on the last day of class. The measurement happens six to nine months later. That gap is where reported numbers separate from verifiable numbers.
Documented in audits
The Department of Labor Office of Inspector General reviewed New York participant data in September 2025. The audit found the state overstated participants served by at least 29,497 and did not account for 12,661 individuals counted more than once. One participant record had been open 7,708 days.
That finding is not about fraud. It describes a system that recorded entry and never verified exit.
TEGL 23-19, Change 3 now requires quarterly review of performance outcomes with source documentation across 25 data elements. The validation is recurring. Most programs run it by hand. See the six WIOA performance indicators and how the Q2 employment window works for the mechanics.
What you get
Quarterly validation across the 25 required data elements, completed on schedule with source documentation attached to each record. TEGL 23-19, Change 3 makes this recurring. Capstone runs it automatically.
WIOA primary indicator output and Workforce Pell certification export generated from one dataset. You enter outcome data once. The system produces both reports because both frameworks measure the same thing at the same interval.
Cohort tracking against the 70 percent thresholds during the measurement window. You learn a cohort is trending under in month four, not at certification. That is enough time to intervene.
What changes for your program
Your reporting officer files WIOA and Workforce Pell from the same enrollment record. Placement counts once, gets confirmed by the employer once, appears on both reports. The manual reconciliation step that eats the week before every quarterly submission goes away.
When a state auditor asks how a placement number was produced, the answer opens in one click: the participant's attestation response, timestamped; the employer's confirmation, timestamped; the raw state MIS row that seeded the record, unmodified since import. Not an audit story to construct. An audit story already assembled.

Mechanics
Capstone reads from your existing case management or student information system. You keep your state system of record. Nothing is replaced.
Capstone carries each exit through the measurement window. Employment and earnings are verified in the second quarter after exit, then again in the fourth quarter. Records that cannot be verified are flagged rather than estimated.
WIOA indicators and Pell thresholds compute from the same verified record, because they measure the same thing at the same interval. Your reporting officer files without a manual reconciliation step.
Evidence
NPower ran 245 mock interviews in 9 weeks with zero added staff. That avoided up to $24,500 in labor cost.
The system that collected readiness behavior is the system that carries the outcome record forward. Readiness data and verified outcome data sit on the same participant, which is what makes the placement number defensible instead of estimated.

Reporting at half a full-time employee costs a workforce board roughly $35,000 in loaded salary. That spend sits inside the 10 percent WIOA administrative cost cap, which constrains everything else the board wants to fund.
Capstone outcome verification starts at $9,500 per year. It runs under the labor cost it displaces and frees administrative headroom.
For programs seeking Workforce Pell eligibility, revenue at risk is a function of the prorated award, not the annual maximum. Workforce Pell awards are prorated by program length. ED estimates the average award at roughly $1,700. A 100-student program therefore has roughly $170,000 in annual revenue contingent on holding eligibility. An $18,000 subscription against $170,000 of revenue at risk is about 10 percent of the number the eligibility protects.
