EXPERIENCE INTO POSSIBILITY

Grounded in experience.
Growing through collaboration.

BASAAS is translating 24 years of professional experience (2002–2026) supporting students, families and school teams into practical planning technology.

10,000+home visits conducted
10,000students directly served
50+schools across five states

That foundation includes collaboration with dozens of administrators. Mr. Blake builds on this experience: as participating school teams contribute feedback, scenarios and approved resources, BASAAS will refine and expand the app to support their evolving needs.

About these experience figures

BASAAS-reported professional experience from 2002–2026. These career totals describe the experience informing the technology, not outcomes achieved by the app or independently verified measures of intervention effectiveness.

BASAAS ENRICHMENT / LIFE SKILLS

Botvin LifeSkills Training

BASAAS offers school enrichment using Botvin LifeSkills Training, with middle-school curriculum and high-school e-LST options. We work with your school to confirm the program level, delivery schedule and required materials before services begin.

Clear, itemized pricing

Total program cost = BASAAS delivery + required curriculum materials and licenses + applicable agreed expenses.

BASAAS’s standard enrichment rate is $125 per group-hour for one instructor and up to 10 students. Larger cohorts require a tailored staffing and delivery quote. Materials are charged separately at the confirmed purchase cost, without a BASAAS discount applied to publisher charges.

Materials already owned and licensed for the planned use are not purchased twice. Shipping, tax, any required instructor training and additional licensing are itemized when applicable.

03 / INTELLIGENCE WITH ACCOUNTABILITY

AI brings perspective.
People bring judgment.

+

Context before conclusions

Approved school guidance can inform new plans. Uploading a document does not automatically retrain the model.

+

Clarity before confidence

Costs, availability and missing data stay visible. A draft is a starting point for staff review, not a service assignment.

+

Evidence before claims

Tracking participation alongside progress is on the roadmap. A change in outcomes alone does not prove an intervention caused it.

THE MR. BLAKE APP / INVITATION-ONLY PILOT

Help shape our
new planning app.

BASAAS is inviting school leaders and educators to explore Mr. Blake. Try the planning workflow with sample records and help shape a more useful tool for everyday school life.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

A focused pilot.
A bigger ambition.

What can I try?

Explore Mr. Blake through a guided pilot using sample records. Contact BASAAS for a walkthrough of the features available to your school.

Can I upload real student records?

The current pilot is for sample data. Real-data use requires additional controls and school authorization. Removing names does not make student IDs anonymous.

How do I get access?

Access is arranged by the Mr. Blake pilot organizer. Participants need an invitation, an assigned app role and a school workspace. There is no open self-registration yet.

What improvements are coming to the pilot?

Upcoming pilot improvements bring together single-student entry and CSV matching with a separate result for each sample student, resource references selected by school ZIP code, and an options menu organized into six expandable categories.

Matching suggests service candidates and explains the reasons. Staff still confirm eligibility, provider capacity and the next action. General document uploads continue to produce cohort summaries; use the matching CSV workflow for individual results.

What will requirements follow-up offer?

The upcoming optional, on-demand checklist will help staff review reported evidence and entered due dates after confirming which school requirements apply. It highlights missing information and approaching dates for human review. It does not determine legal compliance, verify submissions or send automatic alerts. Checklist entries are temporary unless you download the result.

What comes next?

Planned development includes service-delivery monitoring, automatic exception alerts and participation-linked outcome reporting. The upcoming requirements checklist will run when a staff member reviews it; background monitoring and notifications remain planned.
