Your ERP and portals record spend. They don’t run eligibility + stacking + allowability + audit-ready proof as one flow — that’s the layer ThinkKits adds.
Principal · District · Enterprise — see pricing below. Built to sit above SIS/ERP, not swap them.
Payroll, HR, and purchasing tools run the district. They don’t, together, answer whether federal and state dollars are claimed, stacked, spent, and shown the way review expects. That job — funding intelligence end to end — is what pays for programs and what Single Audit and SEFA test. ThinkKits adds that layer on top of what you own; it doesn’t replace it.
You can have clean books in one tool and a gap in another — and still get Est. leakage, Est. questioned costs, or a long night before the packet ships. The one flow that ties money to proof isn’t optional; it’s the piece your stack was never sold to deliver as one product. ThinkKits complements that stack.
15% of audited districts receive findings. Federal Audit Clearinghouse data, FY2023-2024. That's not a policy paper statistic -- that's 1 in 7 districts getting flagged, questioned costs assigned, and corrective action plans mandated. Industry estimates often cite roughly $15K\u2013$50K per year for third-party compliance consulting support (varies widely by district size; not measured from your district's books). Districts still get findings. Because consultants work from the same spreadsheets you do.
The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is a single document. Get one catalog code wrong, misclassify one program, or misstate one amount -- and the auditor projects that error rate across your entire portfolio. Three bad entries in a $2 million Title I program become $240,000 in questioned costs. That document should generate itself from your own expenditure data. Instead, coordinators build it manually in Excel every year.
Threshold check. SEFA. Program classification. Risk assessment. Internal controls. Twelve compliance test areas. Findings. Corrective action plans. Prior finding follow-up. Federal reporting. Resolution. This isn't an event -- it's a continuous cycle. But most districts treat it like tax season: cram for two weeks, pray nothing surfaces. Title I coordinators stitch together 5 to 7 systems. Business managers categorize 200+ transactions per quarter by hand. Procurement documentation lives in email threads and filing cabinets.
Can you prove that every Title I dollar added to -- and did not replace -- local spending? The burden of proof sits on your district. Most can't produce that documentation on demand. When the auditor asks, you reconstruct it from memory and bank statements. That reconstruction is where findings come from.
When an educator qualifies a purchase, five compliance outputs generate in the background: the audit trail, the allowability record, the supplement-not-supplant justification, the equipment flag for items over $5,000, and the expenditure data feeding your SF-425. Nobody thinks about compliance. They qualify a purchase. The documentation writes itself.
Peer analysis runs constantly. Districts with your funding profile had a 26% finding rate on procurement -- if your procurement documentation is thin, you'll know before the auditor does. Category thresholds, period warnings, Maintenance of Effort flags, and regulatory changes surface proactively. You fix problems in real time instead of discovering them under questioning.
