FreeWIS — Free Well-Being Information System

FreeWIS is a child welfare data system built to the CCWIS rule. Its AI assistant is Dio, the child welfare dog. Describe the work in plain language, review what Dio proposes, and approve what enters the record.

You talk. Dio does the paperwork.

See it work

Don’t watch a demo. Work a caseload.

Open a case in a synthetic Kansas caseload of made-up families. Describe the work, review what Dio proposes, and pull a live AFCARS report with an approval trail for every move.

The caseload is synthetic so you can test the working system without putting a real family’s information at risk.

No charge to qualifying agencies

Built to the CCWIS rule. No charge to qualifying agencies.

FreeWIS is offered at no charge to qualifying public child welfare agencies: states, territories, tribes, and counties working under a state plan. GET explains who may qualify and how the request works.

The same working system, whatever the size of the agency.

Atomic Compliance

Matt thinks about child welfare data and compliance like an atom.

Casework begins as words, passes through what the state requires, and resolves into federal data around one fact stored once. FreeWIS is built that way: three layers around one nucleus, every datum kept where it belongs and never copied outward.

The FreeWIS atom, cut in half.

Cut the atom in half and look from the side, and every layer is on screen at once, each with room for its name.

The atom, cut in half and seen from the sideThree nested layers on the cut face: the narrative cloud on the outside, a state’s shell inside it, and the federal nucleus at the center. A dashed path runs inward across each layer in turn, turns at dead center on a datum every layer shares — held in the nucleus once, never duplicated outward — and then leaves the plane of the slice into a single datum’s reporting digits.…dropped by the home this morning……she said school has been better since……the sisters were placed together……follow-up at the clinic next week…the cutthe narrative clouda state’s shellthe federal nucleusthe wordsthe citationsthe elementsfrom the outside indate of birththe reporting digits

  1. outermost

    The narrative cloud

    Casework arrives as paragraphs and sentences — and what policy asks is answered from them, by summary.

  2. inside it

    A state’s shell

    What state law requires documented — the citation lives with the value.

  3. at the center

    The federal nucleus

    The data federal reports require. When an outer layer needs a datum the nucleus already holds — date of birth is asked for at every layer — it lives here once, never duplicated.

Read it from the outside in: the words, then the citations, then the elements.
