## Bleu 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.

When something is off but the fix isn’t obvious: Teams usually arrive mid-symptom: velocity dropped, an area nobody wants to touch, a rebuild that keeps being proposed. Before committing to any of it, the problem needs an honest diagnosis.

A technical and product read on what’s going on, what is causing drag, and what the cleanest next step is.

- A diagnosis, not a proposal
- Direct read of code, architecture, and process
- A recommendation you can act on — with or without us

- Investment: Scoped in the first conversation.
- Length: Typical length: 1–3 weeks

What an Assessment covers:

- Where the drag is actually coming from
- Architecture and code health around the problem area
- What’s worth fixing, rebuilding, or leaving alone
- Scope, tradeoffs, and sequencing for the next step
- A clear recommendation before you commit to the wrong fix

Selected work:

- [CoW Protocol](https://bleu.builders/cases/cow-protocol): CoW offloaded high-context ecosystem work — SDKs, tooling, governance, user-facing product — so the core team stayed focused on the protocol.
- [Silo Finance](https://bleu.builders/cases/silo-finance): The entire data layer owned end to end — subgraphs, multichain APIs across 4+ chains — with infrastructure costs cut 80%.
