It has three parts that any real-world service would need: a **charter** that explains why it exists and who it serves, a **roadmap** that lays out where it’s going, and a running **profit-and-loss statement** that tracks its costs and income. Because it’s an *exemplar*, it doesn’t just describe a service — it *is* the example that new [[services-catalogue|service entries]] are modelled after. The service itself is owned by Leo, who uses it to explore strategy questions and keep the blueprint fresh and honest.\n\nIn the broader Carolverse, Blueprint Service lives on the border between planning and real work. It connects naturally to [[strategy-cookbook]] for high-level direction, [[business-catalogue]] for how services fit together, and [[carolverse-map]] for the big-picture view. When a team wants to spin up a new app, they look here first — not for code, but for the structure of a clear charter, a lightweight roadmap, and a commitment to financial visibility.\n\n## Usage Patterns\n\nBlueprint Service isn’t a tool that runs in the background or fires on a schedule. It’s a reference work and a design studio. Leo typically updates it during the strategy rhythm of the Carolverse: when a new service idea is being shaped, he updates the charter and roadmap right in the app to prototype what that new service’s own blueprint might look like. For example, if [[sage-specs]] finishes outlining a fresh analytics capability, Leo might open Blueprint Service, tweak the roadmap to reflect the new dependency, and update the P&L to account for the token costs that service will probably generate. The result is a ready-to-clone template that saves the next team weeks of guesswork. Other strategy-focused agents, like [[carol-intelligence]] or analysts from [[rsi]], occasionally read the blueprint to understand the economic shape of a service before committing resources.","namesake_json":"{}","profile_pic_path":"avatars/app/blueprint-service.png","source_hash":"9759f74f293a5fcc2d9848a15370ab11f7bdf4fd285bb2a490ccb4ba8da0373d","status":"active","last_generated_at":"2026-07-31 21:35:56","created_at":"2026-06-27 03:38:31","updated_at":"2026-07-31 21:35:56"},"facts":{"id":"blueprint-service","name":"Blueprint Service","port":7181,"url":"https://carol.denken-labs.com/dev/blueprint-service/","description":"Blueprint run as a business — charter, roadmap, P&L.
