Economics
Upside potential.
These are planning assumptions, not final financial commitments. Phase 1 is intentionally framed as a minimum viable validation deployment for AdPrompt.Ai, AdChain, and AdToken before committing to a larger installation.
Minimum viable Phase 1 build-out target
This keeps Phase 1 deliberately lean: one starter rack, staged equipment purchases, essential power / cooling / security work, and no large-scale GPU expansion until anchor workloads and outside demand justify it.
| Category | Estimated cost | What it supports |
|---|
| Starter GPU / AI compute | $25K–$60K | Minimum useful AI inference, automation, and creative generation — early AdPrompt.Ai capacity without a full GPU fleet up front. |
| CPU / storage / networking | $15K–$45K | AdChain and AdToken verification, indexing, storage, monitoring, and supporting network services. |
| Power, cooling, racks & cabling | $15K–$50K | Rack build-out, power distribution, cooling, and structured cabling for a safe pilot deployment. |
| Security, monitoring, fire / code review, contingency | $10K–$20K | Basic resilience, safety, monitoring, access control, code items, and a lean contingency reserve. |
| Estimated minimum viable Phase 1 total | $65K–$175K | Assumes a pilot-scale deployment using existing building capacity where possible; major service upgrades quoted separately. |
Lean Phase 1 principle: start with the smallest safe and useful deployment, support AdPrompt.Ai plus AdChain / AdToken anchor workloads, and defer larger GPU purchases, full redundancy, and major electrical or cooling expansion until utilization is proven.
Monthly gross potential by scenario
Starter
~$3K–$5K
Monthly gross potential
4–8 GPUs at roughly 50% utilization and $1.75 per GPU-hour, assuming a 30-day month and a deliberately small pilot.
Growth
~$31K
Monthly gross potential
32 GPUs at 60% utilization and $2.25 per GPU-hour, assuming a 30-day month after staged expansion.
Expanded
~$51K
Monthly gross potential
48 GPUs at 65% utilization and $2.25 per GPU-hour, assuming a 30-day month at fuller build-out.
Illustrative landlord revenue share
As the funding partner, the landlord takes the majority share of the compute revenue above, while AdPrompt’s share covers all operations, maintenance, support, and growth. The figures below show monthly landlord income at several negotiable splits across the three scenarios — income that scales directly with utilization.
| Landlord share | Starter (~$4K) | Growth (~$31K) | Expanded (~$51K) |
|---|
| 50% | ~$2,000 / mo | ~$15,500 / mo | ~$25,500 / mo |
| 60% | ~$2,400 / mo | ~$18,600 / mo | ~$30,600 / mo |
| 70% | ~$2,800 / mo | ~$21,700 / mo | ~$35,700 / mo |
Mutual benefit. The landlord funds a durable, owned equipment asset in their own building and takes the majority of the revenue, while AdPrompt contributes the expertise to build, run, maintain, and grow it — covering all operating costs from its share. At the illustrative 60% Growth split, the landlord’s build-out investment is recovered in roughly 4 to 9 months depending on build-out size, after which the revenue share is ongoing return. Splits are illustrative and fully negotiable.
