What's Inside
Eight chapters. Roughly 30 pages. Built for operators — not analysts. Every play is something Petronella Technology Group has actually shipped for a regulated-SMB client.
Picking Your Regulated Vertical
Defense, healthcare, legal, financial. Deal economics, assessment cadence, and buyer psychology for each.
The Five Asymmetries
CMMC-RP, DFE forensics, private AI, operator tenure, narrow ICP. How to build yours without hiring a team of six.
CMMC L2 Engagement Mechanics
Gap-assessment pricing anchors, SSP drafting workflow, POA&M construction, audit-evidence packaging.
Private AI For Regulated Clients
Why private-AI fleets beat public-API cost math at regulated scale. BOM bands. Scope templates.
The 7-Touch Warm Sequence
Apollo-plus-LinkedIn prospecting, value-drop email cadence, and the one-and-only manual step that respects LinkedIn TOS.
Pricing Without Cross-Credits
Assessment fees, prototyping fees, deployment fees, managed-service subscriptions. Why cross-credits destroy margin.
Banned Channels
Cold calling, chambers, direct mail, attorney-fee referrals. Why they lose money for regulated-SMB MSPs and what replaces them.
