This case study spotlights the critical role of data-driven strategy in modern religious education and outreach. As organizations seek to maximize teaching impact across dispersed regions and diverse communities, identifying which methods and structures lead to stronger student engagement is vital. Here, Scoop’s agentic AI transformed a fragmented, multi-faceted dataset into visualized insights and predictive patterns—empowering leaders to make bold, evidence-backed decisions at scale.
Deploying Scoop’s end-to-end agentic analytics pipeline, the organization achieved unprecedented clarity on both macro- and micro-level teaching dynamics. Results validated the strategic value of regional focus—particularly within Quebec—and revealed that teachers who leveraged a broader set of outreach channels consistently maintained higher rates of engaged students. Notably, phone-based outreach emerged as a powerful differentiator. With a consolidated, visual-first dashboard, leadership gained line-of-sight into both under-served student segments and communication gaps around event promotion. These findings support rapid, iterative adjustment of resource allocation and training efforts, backed by evidence-linked predictions rather than assumptions.
Indicates near-universal reliance on social media for outreach, highlighting its centrality to the modern evangelism strategy.
Every teacher incorporating calling as an outreach method reported at least one active student, signaling this as the most effective individual channel in this cohort.

The majority of teachers focused their activities in Quebec, establishing it as the strategic core for program growth and resource prioritization.
Only one in five active teachers had communicated details about an upcoming event to students, exposing a key area for process improvement.
Faith-based education teams face the ongoing challenge of sustaining active engagement among students distributed across broad geographic areas. Prior efforts to assess effectiveness of evangelism strategies—from social media to in-person events—were hampered by siloed spreadsheets, inconsistent tracking of student progress, and the absence of a unified, analytics-driven approach. The organization’s teaching community spans multiple regions, notably with a strategic hub in Quebec, yet lacked clear data on which outreach and teaching methods correlated with higher student retention. Questions persisted around optimal regional allocation of teaching resources, the influence of diverse outreach methods, and whether current communication strategies (such as event notifications) effectively supported engagement across all curriculum levels.
Automated Dataset Scanning & Metadata Inference: Scoop ingested the raw multi-field dataset, instantly determining core attributes including methods, geography, teaching status, and event communication. This eliminated hours of manual preprocessing, ensuring a consistent, queryable foundation.

Scoop’s agentic ML modeling surfaced patterns unobservable via standard dashboards or off-the-shelf BI. Most notably, outreach diversity—rather than any single channel—explains variations in student engagement. While nearly all teachers use two methods, those extending to three (e.g., adding calling to in-person and social media) had perfect active student retention. This finding, derived automatically and validated across records, directly informs resource planning and outreach training. Geographic segmentation, by contrast, exerts independent predictive power: regardless of curriculum preference or method, where a teacher resides reliably predicts their regional focus—pointing to operational opportunities in aligning outreach assignments with demographic realities. Traditional query tools might visualize raw geographic or communication metrics; only Scoop’s ML articulation exposed the underlying logic (e.g., a default Quebec focus unless specific externalities exist) and delivered rules with enough confidence to retool team deployment. Finally, the system pinpointed overlooked friction in internal communications—most teachers failed to share time-sensitive event info, a bottleneck less visible in summary statistics but critical for sustaining student engagement.
Armed with Scoop’s evidence-based insights, leadership prioritized training for teachers on expanding and balancing their outreach portfolios. Resource plans now emphasize scaling call-based activities and supporting teachers in less-engaged geographies. Regional strategy was refined, doubling down on Quebec while engineering lightweight initiatives for underrepresented areas. A process review triggered immediate adjustments to ensure timely communication of events, aiming to close the last-mile gap in engagement. Next, leadership will monitor quarterly progress using Scoop’s templated dashboards and extend the ML approach to a broader cohort, seeking to validate causal linkages and test new engagement tactics.
