Petronella Fleet — Prototype Your Client's Private AI Workload On Our Lab, Then Hand Off A Working System
For MSPs with a concrete regulated-SMB deal that needs private AI infrastructure or compliance-grade architecture. We build, validate, and document the prototype on our fleet. Your client procures hardware direct from any vendor using the bill-of-materials we deliver. You resell inference and compliance workflows under your own SOW.
Stage 1 — Fleet Prototyping (4-Tier Ladder)
Pricing disclosed publicly for prototyping only. Deployment and Managed Service are scoped from the prototyping output. All prototyping engagements gate through a free 30-minute Discovery Call so we can match tier to scope before any Stripe link is sent.
Single use case. Hello-world prototype on our fleet with architecture document. No handoff package. Proves feasibility before larger commit.
Buyer signal: budget-first MSP needs proof before scaling spend.
Pay & Start — $35,000Working prototype, runbook, architecture doc, workload profile, bill-of-materials for hardware procurement, managed-service recommendation. Full MSP handoff.
Buyer signal: default tier — most MSP engagements land here.
Pay & Start — $50,000All Fleet Prototype deliverables plus CMMC Level 2, HIPAA, and NIST 800-171 mapping. Includes SSP artifacts and an audit-evidence package for the MSP's end client.
Buyer signal: DIB-adjacent or healthcare MSPs in assessment window.
Pay & Start — $75,000Compliance-Aware prototype plus signed migration guarantee, 90-day post-handoff support, and an embedded CMMC-RP on the MSP's Slack. Invoice and wire/ACH only.
Buyer signal: serious MSPs with $500K+ AI capex committed.
Inquiry Only — Contact UsStage 2, 3, and 4 — Hardware, Deployment, Managed Service
Prototyping is the only stage with public pricing. Deployment and Managed Service scope from the prototyping output. Hardware is MSP-direct; Petronella Technology Group takes zero hardware margin.
Hardware — MSP procures direct
Using the bill-of-materials delivered in Stage 1, your MSP buys hardware direct from any vendor (NVIDIA, Supermicro, Dell, CDW, and others). We take zero markup, hold zero inventory, carry zero warranty exposure. Optional flat $2,500 procurement coordination fee if you want us to run the RFQ and track delivery.
Deployment & Configuration — custom quoted
After prototyping completes, we issue a custom deployment quote based on rig size, network complexity, compliance overlay, and training scope. Most engagements fall in standard regulated-MSP deployment ranges. We provide the exact number in your prototyping delivery packet.
Managed Service — custom subscription
Monitoring, patching, capacity, private-model updates, CMMC-compliant change management. Monthly subscription scoped from actual deployed environment. 12-month minimum post-deployment; 60-day mutual out-clause after month six. Fee ranges align with regulated-MSP managed-AI market norms.
Optional Tier 2 Add-Ons
Publicly priced. Available to active Tier 2 engagements only. Attach to the engagement via admin flow — these are not standalone Payment Links.
How Fleet Differs From Every Other Managed-AI Vendor
We are services-only. That is a strategic choice, not a limitation.
Your MSP owns the client
You invoice. You own the relationship. We deliver engineering under your SOW when you need us.
Prototype before you commit capex
Four tiers let you spend $35K to validate feasibility or $75K to package a compliance-grade audit deliverable before any client hardware ships.
Honest pricing, no hidden cross-credits
Prototyping fees are deliverable engineering work. They do not convert into coupons toward anything. Each stage stands alone.
