Where the numbers come from

The Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions registry, filing 641500, effective 4/30/2026. Read line by line by two independent models, one of them blind to the other; a figure is published only when both agree and the quoted words are on the cited page. Nothing is estimated. The method, in full.

Who it's for

  • Someone about to sign a The Goddard School franchise agreement who wants to know what the document says before the attorney's meter starts.
  • An operator comparing The Goddard School against two or three other brands on the same terms.
  • A lender, landlord or partner who needs the figures with page numbers, not a brochure.

Questions

Is this the filing itself?
No. The filing is public and you can get it from the state. This is the filing read for you: every figure with the page it came from, in plain English.
Is it legal advice?
This is a summary of a public filing, not legal advice. Take the filing to a franchise attorney before signing. The report makes that meeting shorter and cheaper.
How current is it?
It is read from the 2026 filing, effective 4/30/2026. When the franchisor files again the report is re-read, and buyers get the new one.
What if it isn't what I needed?
Reply to your receipt within thirty days and the charge is refunded. No questions.
