What the platform covers

Six modules, one enrollment record, one audit trail

Every module reads and writes to the same enrollment record. Readiness data from coaching becomes the placement evidence in compliance. Attestation responses land on the same participant. The funder report writes itself from what already exists.

AI mock interview coaching

Rubric-scored practice interviews at scale. Every session produces the readiness data that becomes the placement-rate evidence at exit. 245 mock interviews in 9 weeks with zero added coaching staff (NPower case study).

AI mock interview platform

WIOA + Workforce Pell compliance

The six WIOA primary indicators and the Workforce Pell 70/70 thresholds, computed continuously from your enrollment records. Certification-ready exports. Intervention queue for off-track cohorts while there is still time.

Compliance module

Participant + employer attestation

Tokenized check-in links at 30, 60, 90 days and Q2 and Q4 post-exit. When a participant claims employment, the employer receives a 60-second verification. Every placement number carries participant and employer signatures.

Outcome verification module

Funder-format reporting

PIRL-shaped CSVs and PDF board reports on demand from your enrollment record. Your reporting officer files without the pre-quarter reconciliation week.

Funder reports

Executive analytics

Cross-cohort comparison, longitudinal readiness deltas, funder views, and export. The executive director opens it Monday morning to see where the program stands against the numbers that determine next-year funding.

Four-tier data sovereignty

SaaS default. GovCloud option for state-agency deployments. Self-hosted container for buyers that require on-premise. Metadata-only connector for maximum-restriction deployments. Download-everything and delete-everything endpoints from day one.

Sovereignty architecture

Beyond the shipped modules

Custom software and workforce data services

Capstone Workforce ships the platform. Capstone data services build the pipeline that feeds it. State MIS migration, state wage-record integration (SWIS, WRIS, and state longitudinal data systems like Alabama P20W), custom funder-format exports, and custom software builds against the same participant record and event stream the shipped modules run on.

For organizations that need more than the shipped modules cover. Deployed under Tier 3 self-hosted container or Tier 4 metadata-only connector so participant SSN data never leaves the buyer's environment.

Who it is built for

The workforce development vertical, top to bottom

Small workforce organizations that traditional enterprise software ignores. The 1.9 million nonprofits, 24,000 WIOA-funded programs, and the local boards, community colleges, reentry programs, veteran programs, and staffing partners that run against the same reporting standards without the same infrastructure budget.

WIOA-funded workforce programs

Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth program operators reporting against the six primary indicators. The compliance module runs against your state MIS export; coaching drives the readiness numbers that feed placement.

See how it fits

Local workforce development boards

LWDBs coordinating multiple providers across a designated area. Cross-provider reporting, cohort comparison, and the audit trail that survives a monitor review.

See how it fits

Community colleges + technical colleges

Short-term training programs preparing for Workforce Pell certification. The 70/70 compliance layer computes weekly against your Pell-eligible enrollments; the coaching layer builds placement readiness.

See how it fits

Reentry programs

Justice-involved workforce programs where interview readiness is the difference between a hire and a no. Coaching + funder reporting on the same platform, sized for community-based org budgets.

See how it fits

Veteran employment programs

Military-to-civilian translation baked into the resume audit; coaching scenarios tuned to how veterans actually interview. VetsInTech is a customer.

See how it fits

Staffing agencies with WIOA contracts

Pre-placement readiness scoring as a client-facing differentiator. Rubric-scored sessions produce the evidence a client asks for before signing the contract.

The 70/70 projection tool runs the same engine as the compliance module

Free, browser-based, no account. Enter your Pell enrollment count, exit count, completion count, and Q2 placement count. The tool returns your current rates, projected year-end figures, and how many additional placements you need to clear the 70/70 thresholds. Same math the platform runs weekly against real enrollment records for paying customers.

What makes it different

Not a discount off enterprise workforce software

Enterprise workforce systems are built for state agencies and large multi-provider consortia at $100K-plus ACV. Capstone Workforce is built for the organizations underneath that price point, where the reporting requirements are the same but the budget is not.

Built for small-org economics

A workforce nonprofit with a $2M annual budget cannot buy a $150K enterprise stack. Capstone Workforce sits at $8K to $17.5K ACV depending on module attach. The pricing is calibrated to the buyer, not built as a discount off a mid-market plan.

Compliance and coaching on one platform

Most programs run coaching in one tool, compliance in a spreadsheet, and reporting in a manual reconciliation step the week before every submission. Capstone Workforce runs all three on one enrollment record — the readiness deltas from coaching become the placement-rate evidence in the compliance module, and both feed the funder-format export.

Sovereignty from day one, not an enterprise add-on

State agencies and boards evaluating workforce software stop the conversation as soon as data-residency questions surface. Capstone Workforce ships with four sovereignty tiers designed upfront (SaaS, GovCloud, buyer-hosted container, metadata-only connector) — so a state-agency conversation can move past sovereignty in the first meeting.

Founder-shipped in-house cadence

The founder writes the code, the copy, and the sales conversations. Twelve-plus commits to production in a typical week; two full product modules shipped in a recent 48-hour window (WIOA compliance calculation engine and participant + employer attestation). What ships in the platform maps directly to what buyers tell us they need.
