Verde Compute's engagement model is designed for institutional procurement teams. No artificial urgency. A clear, documented process from initial conversation through financial close, hardware commissioning, and go-live — at your pace.
Each step is documented and mutually agreed. Verde does not impose artificial urgency — each engagement proceeds at your institutional pace. Legal and technical workstreams run in parallel to minimise elapsed time.
A 30-minute technical conversation. Verde's ML Infrastructure Architect maps your AI workload profile, team structure, compliance requirements, and sector-specific constraints. No sales deck. No NDAs required for this initial session. At the end of the call, Verde confirms whether and how it can serve your requirements — or declines if the engagement is not a fit.
A tailored commercial proposal delivered within 5 business days of the discovery call. Includes: GPU cluster specification and configuration, dedicated engineering team structure, SLA schedule, compliance posture, optional add-ons, and engagement timeline. Each proposal is unique to your workload — not a templated brochure.
Commercial terms agreed and LOI / NDA executed via DocuSign. Following NDA execution, Verde provides access to the restricted data room — containing the Independent Engineer report, insurance schedule, compliance framework documentation, and facility specifications. SPV incorporation begins immediately after LOI execution: a Delaware LLC in 10–15 business days.
The formal close event where all legal, financial, and operational agreements execute simultaneously. MSA and SLA signed by both parties. Delaware SPV confirmed and active. Escrow account opened with an independent Tier-1 institutional trustee. Insurance consortium bound — 20 policies, client named as Additional Insured. Independent Engineer certifies readiness. Hardware deposit placed with NVIDIA OEM vendor.
Engineering team recruitment begins in parallel with SPV incorporation. Target: minimum 15 named engineers — NOC Leads and Senior GPU/ML Engineers within 30 days; full team within 60 days of contract signing. Engineers are listed by name in the MSA Named Personnel Schedule (Exhibit A) and contractually prohibited from working on any other Verde engagement. Hardware: NVIDIA Blackwell-class compute cluster delivered to the Pacific Northwest Tier-3 data centre. Rack installation, liquid cooling commissioning, power validation, 72-hour GPU burn-in, NVIDIA AI Enterprise stack activation.
Verde NOC issues a written Go-Live Declaration confirming: hardware acceptance testing passed, DCGM monitoring active, NVIDIA AI Enterprise stack operational, minimum 15 named engineers on shift and active, SLA tracking system live. Independent Engineer certifies operational status. Your team receives API credentials and cluster access documentation. SLA clock starts from this date. 30-day hypercare period begins — Verde NOC provides enhanced monitoring and rapid-response support during initial production ramp.
At Month 30 — six months before contract end — Verde presents two formally documented continuation paths in writing. Full transparency and planning time built in. No cloud provider or managed AI vendor offers this choice. Cloud gives you nothing at month 37. Verde gives you a decision.
Both options are structured in writing at Month 30 — giving you six months of planning time before contract end. The pricing formula and cluster valuation methodology are disclosed upfront, not at the last minute.
Verde swaps the current cluster for next-generation NVIDIA hardware at contract end. Your team, your API endpoints, your monitoring dashboards — all continue without interruption. You get newer, faster GPUs without a migration project.
Client acquires the GPU cluster at independently assessed depreciated market value. A mutually agreed independent appraiser conducts the valuation at Month 30 — no Verde involvement in the valuation process. Verde provides a structured transition and optional ongoing support.
Both paths disclosed in writing at Month 30 · No surprise terms · No renegotiation under pressure · Full planning time built in
Every engagement includes a structured governance cadence — not just SLA monitoring. Verde's reporting obligations are contractual, not discretionary.

At Financial Close, an independent Tier-1 institutional escrow agent takes control of all payment flows. All client payments pass through a rule-based waterfall — no Verde discretion, no manual overrides. Lender instructions take absolute priority over Verde instructions at all times.
On the 1st business day of each month, the Escrow Agent executes the following transfers in strict priority order. No step may be funded until all higher-priority steps are fully satisfied.
Escrow agent executes all waterfall transfers on the 1st business day of each month · Escrow Agent follows Lender instructions in all matters of conflict with Verde instructions · DSRA drawn automatically upon Verde payment shortfall — no Verde action required · All DSRA/P-DSRA releases to Verde require Lender written instruction · Full monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting to all parties
