So how do you measure the value and contribution of the product and special teams including compared to each other. Somehow promotions, head count, budget and so on needs to allocated. Without ownership or the ability to veto it's not fair to measure the Special Teams on any product related metrics. But if you can't measure them on product related metrics then what do you measure them on? Feedback by other teams which will result in endless games of politics?

The existential political threat has to be reined in as the check on the Special Team. No one wants to be under Damocles' sword, but if you want power, it's the way it has to be. Give them a veto if you want, but it paints a target on their back. No veto and only able to use soft influence is probably a mercy to the position.
