Implementation & Pilot Conversion
Last updated: July 21, 2026
What actually happens after you say yes. Timelines here are typical; complex deployments (statewide networks, multi-tenant) take longer.
Stage 1 — Kickoff (week 1)
- 60-minute kickoff with your executive sponsor and operating lead.
- Confirm scope, geographies, sectors, and success metrics.
- Provision your tenant-isolated workspace.
Stage 2 — Data & program intake (weeks 1–2)
- Your inputs: organization profile, programs, priority geographies, priority populations.
- Optional inputs: current funder list, existing pipeline, CHNA priorities (hospitals), assessment area (banks).
- CIFIS side: verify and load your inputs; confirm coverage in your geographies.
Stage 3 — Team onboarding (week 2)
- Invite users and set roles.
- Guided walkthrough of CAPS Lite, Funder Intelligence, Opportunity Radar, Ask CIFIS, and Saved Pipeline.
- Configure notifications and pipeline stages.
Stage 4 — First value (weeks 2–4)
- First funder shortlist and opportunity match set.
- First readiness diagnostic and remediation plan.
- First intelligence briefing (if scoped).
Stage 5 — Steady state (ongoing)
- Monthly or quarterly check-ins depending on band.
- Freshness monitoring; aging records surfaced for review.
- Roadmap input.
Responsibilities at a glance
- You: designate an operating lead, provide inputs on time, use the platform actively.
- CIFIS: workspace, data verification, onboarding, support, and roadmap responsiveness.
