District Partner Potential With a 25-year track record and teacher-developed PD, Project CRISS has credibility for district-level contracts and state education initiatives. The What Works Clearinghouse recognitions add validation for funding cycles and procurement pitches. Target opportunities include large K-12 districts seeking evidence-based literacy and metacognitive strategies.

Digital Licensing Existing teacher materials and student curriculum can be packaged as digital licenses or ongoing subscription access, creating recurring revenue from professional development programs, updates, and classroom resources. This model is scalable for districts and schools seeking long-term, on-demand PD without heavy on-site delivery.

Whole School Adoption CRISS focuses on metacognitive strategies across grade levels and disciplines, enabling cross-curricular, whole-school adoption. This supports multi-year contracts and bundled offerings that cover teachers and students, increasing per-district value.

Analytics Outreach The tech stack includes analytics (Piwik PRO Core) and an applicant tracking system (iCIMS), suggesting readiness for data-driven prospecting and personalized sales outreach. Leverage analytics to identify high-potential districts and optimize messaging and pricing.

Channel Partnerships As a small Montana-based operation, growth can be accelerated by partnerships with EdTech resellers, professional learning networks, and state or regional training providers. A training-of-trainers approach can extend reach without proportional headcount.
