## How working with Bleu works

You bring the context. We do the work required to understand the real problem, take ownership, and get it into good shape.

Process:

- 01 — You bring the context: You do not need a perfect spec. We need enough context to understand what matters and where the drag is showing up.
  - A focused first call
  - Business and technical context
  - What is blocked, fragile, or hard to delegate
- 02 — We get close to the work: We work from the real system, not the deck. Code access and a few direct conversations beat weeks of discovery.
  - Access to the relevant code and environments
  - Conversations with the people closest to the work
  - Fast context-building, not endless discovery
- 03 — We define the path: You get a clear recommendation — what we’d do, what it costs, and what we’d explicitly not do — before anything is committed.
  - Clear recommendation
  - Scope and tradeoffs made explicit
  - No vague proposal language
- 04 — We take ownership: We run the work end to end. You get visibility into progress and decisions, not a daily standup to run.
  - Regular async updates
  - Direct access to the people doing the work
  - Escalation only when a decision needs you
- 05 — We leave it in good shape: The work ends in production-ready shape — code, documentation, and handoff. Maintainable after us.
  - Production-ready delivery
  - Technical documentation
  - Clean handoff to your internal team when needed

## Ways to work with Bleu

Each engagement has a different entry point and shape. The path depends on where you are.

- [Assessment](https://bleu.builders/offerings/assessment): Technical clarity in 1–3 weeks. For teams that know something is off and want a clear read before committing to the wrong fix.
- [Sprint](https://bleu.builders/offerings/sprint): One real problem solved in 2–8 weeks. For teams that need a real problem taken off their plate — owned end to end, not staffed.
- [Squad](https://bleu.builders/offerings/squad): A team owning a critical part of your product. Best fit when the work is ongoing, tightly connected to the system, and too important to keep staffing ad hoc.
