Students don't drop out. They disappear. And the signs are there weeks earlier.
Boom finds the barrier, texts the student, and hands your staff a finished item.

what a risk score gives you
A number. A ranked list. A dashboard someone has to open. An action nobody has time to take.
what Boom gives you
A named barrier. A specific student. A workflow that fires.

Founder note
For fourteen years I worked as a school psychologist on campuses in Los Angeles. I watched students disappear. The signs were there — sometimes weeks ahead. A missed class. A hold on an account. A form that didn't get filed. The data existed. What didn't exist was something that acted on it.
I built Boom to be that thing. Not a dashboard. Not a score. A system that names the specific barrier, reaches the student, and puts a finished task in front of the person who can help.
Trust and safety
Boom texts students at the moments they're most likely to be struggling. Escalation, FERPA posture, and human-in-the-loop are documented.
