Jason for You

AI and technology consulting

If you can dream it, I can get you there. If you can’t dream it, I’ll dream it for you.

If you can dream it, I can get you there.If you can’t dream it, I’ll dream it for you.

You run the business. I help you work out what is worth building, then help build it.

The first conversation is free, takes about 30 minutes, and there’s nothing to prepare.

Who it’s for

For owners who are close to the work

I work with independent, owner-led businesses, where the person who decides is also the person who knows how a normal week actually runs. Size and industry matter less than that. You don’t need to know anything about AI, and you don’t need a plan. There are two ways in, and both are fine.

I know what I want, but I can’t build it.

A tool your team keeps asking for, a better way to take orders, a new line of business. I’ll help you test the idea before you spend real money on it, then help build the version that’s worth having.

I know this could work better, but I don’t know what the answer is.

I’ll learn how the business actually runs, find where time and money leak out, and tell you what is worth fixing first. Sometimes the answer isn’t software, and I’ll say so.

Sound familiar?

  • We do the same thing by hand every week.

    Retyping between systems, rebuilding the same report, chasing the same follow-ups.

  • It’s in there somewhere.

    Knowledge spread across email, spreadsheets, shared drives and one person’s head.

  • Customers fall through the cracks.

    Inquiries, quotes and follow-ups with no reliable system behind them.

  • I don’t know what I’m paying for.

    Software that piled up over the years, and vendors pitching more of it.

  • I have an idea for a new tool or service.

    Something worth testing before anyone builds the whole thing.

  • Everyone says we should use AI.

    Pressure without a problem. A short look finds where it helps and where it doesn’t.

How it works

One useful step at a time.

Each paid step has a written scope and a fixed fee, agreed before it starts. Every step ends with something useful in your hands, and what happens next is your decision.

  1. A first conversation

    Free · about 30 minutes

    Tell me how a normal week runs and where it drags, or what you would build if you could. You learn how I work, and I learn whether I can help. It’s a conversation, not an audit.

    Then you decide whether an assessment is worth it.

  2. Opportunity assessment

    Fixed fee · about 2 to 3 weeks

    A working session with you, a read-only look at your tools and paperwork, then a short written summary: what the problem costs today, two to four options (including leaving it alone, when that’s right), and what I would do first.

    Then you decide whether anything is worth building.

  3. Prototype

    Fixed fee · about 4 to 9 weeks

    Something you can click through that tests one idea, built with sample data and labeled as a prototype. Before I start, we agree in writing what it has to show.

    Then you decide whether it’s worth building properly.

  4. Build and hand over

    Fixed fee per milestone

    I build, test and document the agreed solution in accounts you own, then walk you through it. For 30 days after handover, I fix anything that doesn’t do what we agreed.

    You own it, documentation included.

Builds come after an assessment or a prototype, so a fixed fee always rests on a clear scope. Durations are estimates in calendar weeks.

The studio

I built the studio behind the work.

Orca Solutions is my own working example: a software studio built with AI tools, from the products and their identities to the systems for managing, reviewing, documenting and releasing the work.

I built it alongside a full-time job. I set the direction, make the decisions and stay responsible for the result. That experience is what I bring to your business.

Orca Solutions

The studio as a working example

The whole thing, working together.

A product needs a purpose, a way to reach people, and a way to keep improving. I built those parts around Orca’s software, too.

Different audiences and products share a common foundation: clear priorities, thoughtful design, documented decisions and a repeatable way to deliver. AI helps me carry the work through; the direction and accountability stay with me.

What I built around the products

Identity & presence
Positioning, product identities, websites and a consistent point of view.
Business & operations
Offers, priorities and coordination across a growing body of work.
Development & review
Shared project foundations, focused checks and documentation that travels with the work.
Release & improvement
Deployment routines, release records, product guides and ways to gather feedback.

Three ways to see it in practice.

A consumer product, a complex workflow and a tool for other developers. Each has a personal story behind it.

About

You’ll be working with me

Jason Fricano

I’m Jason Fricano. I’m trained as a lawyer, I build software, and I’m the person you’ll actually work with. There’s no account manager, and no handing you off to a team you never meet.

The part I’m best at is the personal part: understanding how your business really runs, seeing possibilities you may not have had time to look for, and then helping make one of them real.

I do this alongside another full-time job, so I take on a small number of projects at a time and tell you plainly what I can and can’t commit to.

Jason for You is technology and business consulting. It doesn’t provide legal advice, and working with me doesn’t make me your lawyer.

Questions

Straight answers

Do I need to know anything about AI?
No. We start with your business, not the technology. AI is one tool among several, and plenty of good answers are ordinary software, better use of something you already pay for, or a change to how work moves through the business.
What does it cost?
Every step after the first conversation has a fixed fee, agreed in writing before any work starts, so you know the number up front. Software, hosting and AI services go on your own accounts, so you see those costs directly.
Can I see work you’ve done for clients?
Not yet. Everything on this page is my own work, built for myself, and each entry says how far along it is. Jason for You is new, and the first client engagements are what I’m looking for now.
How available are you?
I reply within two business days and meet at times we agree in advance. I don’t do on-call, emergency or same-day work. If a timeline slips, you hear from me promptly with a new date, and a fixed fee never goes up because of my delay.
What happens to my data?
It stays yours. I work in accounts you own, ask only for what the work needs, and use sample data until real data is necessary and you’ve agreed to it. I use AI tools in my work, and I’ll tell you which ones touch your information before they do. When we finish, I return or delete what you gave me.
What if you’re unavailable later?
What I build lives in accounts you own and comes with documentation written as the work happens, plus a proper handover, so someone else can pick it up. You shouldn’t need me to keep it running.
Do you give legal advice?
No. This is technology and business consulting. If a legal question comes up, I’ll tell you it’s one for your own lawyer.
Is the name a joke?
It’s a nod to a show I like. The work is real: a scope, a price, a deliverable, and me on the other end of the email.
