We Build Your Private AI Prototype On Our Fleet In 4 Weeks
Starting at $50,000 · 4-6 week build
We use Petronella Technology Group's on-prem AI lab (ai5, ai7, Dell, DGX nodes) to build a real, working private AI prototype against your data and your use case. Then we hand you the runbooks, architecture docs, and a migration path to your own infrastructure. No six-figure slideware pilot. No vendor lock-in.
McKinsey / BCG AI pilot: $250K+ · Databricks enterprise pilot: $60K-$120K · Healthcare AI strategy alone (no build): $75K-$150K
Fixed fee · Kickoff within 7 business days · NDA + MSA on day 0 · 4-6 prototypes/year max · fleet concurrency limited to 2
Engagement Tiers
Four engagement sizes. The $50,000 Prototype is the anchor — the others are inquiry-only because each one needs a tailored scope.
| Tier | Price | Best For | Duration | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PoC Lite | $35,000 | Prove viability, single use case, no production handoff | 2 weeks | Inquire |
| Prototype · Anchor | $50,000 | Full working prototype on PTG fleet + complete handoff package | 4-6 weeks | Reserve Slot |
| Compliance-Aware | $75,000 | CMMC L2 / HIPAA / PCI regulated deployment with audit trail | 5-6 weeks | Inquire |
| Production-Ready | $125,000 | Migration guarantee + runbooks + 90-day operate-with-you | 6-8 weeks | Contact Us |
The 4-Week Build
Real inference on real hardware with your real data. Outcome-oriented, not slideware.
Scope & Data
Use-case definition, success metrics, data sample ingestion, model selection, architecture draft, security boundary definition.
Build
Stand up the stack on PTG fleet: inference endpoint, RAG pipeline or fine-tune job, retrieval index, guardrails. Live weekly demo.
Iterate
Prompt + retrieval + fine-tune tuning against your success metrics. Latency, accuracy, cost optimization. Second live demo.
Handoff
Runbooks, architecture diagrams, migration plan to your infra. Credentials rotation, knowledge-transfer session, optional continued managed ops.
What You Get
Working Prototype
Live private-AI system running on PTG fleet, accessible to your named stakeholders, demonstrating your chosen use case end to end.
Architecture Docs
Complete infrastructure diagrams, network topology, model versioning, data-flow maps, security boundaries, cost assumptions.
Runbooks
Operator playbooks for deployment, scaling, monitoring, incident response, model refresh, and backup / recovery.
Migration Plan
Phased handoff to your on-prem or cloud infrastructure with hardware bill of materials, staffing needs, and 90-day operate-with-you window available.
Who This Is For
- CTOs and technical founders who need to ship a defensible AI proof-of-concept in a month, not a quarter
- Defense primes and subcontractors needing a CMMC-aligned private AI demonstration
- Healthcare and financial firms who cannot put ePHI or PCI data through public cloud AI
- Private equity operators testing an AI thesis inside a portfolio company without long-term commitment
- Internal IT teams wanting to de-risk a private AI investment before buying hardware
