This AI system predicts the likelihood that a family receiving child welfare prevention services will be involved in a future indicated maltreatment investigation within 24 months. It assigns a numeric risk score to each case on day 10 of service, and those scores are used to group prevention service providers into cohorts for fair performance comparison. No identifying personal information is included in the model's training, inputs, or outputs — only a case number is used.
