Solin Early Warning
Early Warning Readiness Scan
Start with defensible settings instead of a first month of noisy alerts.
The Readiness Scan is a fixed-price setup service for institutions deploying the free Solin Early Warning Block. We scan your course catalog, identify where the block will work well, flag where it will not, recommend initial configuration, apply it, and walk you through the decisions.
$1,950, one-off. Available from day one of your block install.
What we deliver
Four deliverables, fixed scope.
1. Read-only course-catalog scan
We identify structural issues that affect early-warning quality, including:
- courses with completion tracking disabled
- activities with completion configured but no expected completion date
- courses below the peer-relative cohort floor
- self-paced course designs where peer-relative comparisons may be misleading
- course shapes likely to produce structural false positives
2. Recommended initial site-wide configuration
We recommend initial settings based on the structure of your Moodle™ site, not on generic defaults. This includes practical decisions such as inactivity thresholds, grade-trend sensitivity, cohort floor settings, whether peer-relative signals should be used broadly or only in certain course types, and whether specific categories should start with different assumptions.
3. Block installation and configuration
We install and configure the block according to the agreed recommendations, or we guide your own Moodle administrator through the process.
4. One-hour debrief
We walk through the scan results, the configuration choices, and the known limitations. The goal is not just to configure the block. The goal is for your team to understand why it was configured that way.
What it does not promise.
The Readiness Scan does not promise that false positives disappear, and it does not promise that the block will work equally well across every course shape. What it does deliver is a written report identifying which parts of your course catalog are a good fit, which parts need care, and which initial settings are defensible — along with the configuration applied accordingly.
How the data flow works
Two options — same outcome, different IT involvement.
Option 1: you run the scan
You run the scan command shipped with the free block and send us the generated JSON file. By default, the dump avoids personal data. Course names can be redacted to numeric IDs. This is usually the preferred option for EU public-sector and privacy-sensitive institutions.
Option 2: we run the scan
You provide temporary read-only database access for the duration of the engagement. This is faster, but it requires your IT team to provision access.
Either way, the Readiness Scan does not require student-level data to be sent to Solin.
Who this is for
Moodle administrators or technical leads who want the free block to start with sensible settings.
It is especially useful if:
- you have many course categories
- completion tracking is inconsistent
- your Moodle™ contains both cohort-paced and self-paced courses
- teachers are skeptical of analytics tools
- you want to avoid a first-month flood of noisy alerts
If you are already running the block and have at least 12 weeks of data, you probably want the Calibration Review instead.
