## Bleu 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. When the work is not really a project: Some problems are too large, too connected, or too persistent to treat as a short engagement. They need a team that can stay close to the system, make decisions with context, and keep improving the area over time. A stable team with ownership of a product or infrastructure area your users depend on. - Not staff augmentation - Stable ownership over time - Continuous product and engineering progress without heavy management overhead - Investment: Scoped in the first conversation. - Minimum: Recommended minimum: 3+ months What a Squad typically owns: - A product surface or workflow your users depend on - A critical internal system or data layer - The backlog around a neglected but high-value area - The reliability, performance, and maintainability of that area over time - Documentation and clean knowledge transfer as the work evolves Selected work: - [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%. - [Perk](https://bleu.builders/cases/perk): Bleu strengthened the platform while Perk kept shipping — 3+ years, 12k+ commits, 16 apps in production, and the M&M’s launch at 99.984% uptime.
