For telcos & builders

Sell it as your own.

You buy wholesale per-token and set your own retail. Every request is priced, metered in PKR, and itemised — wholesale, retail, and the margin between them — per tenant, per period.

No model lab. No billing stack. Your brand on the surfaces your subscribers see.

How reseller margin is produced Sentinel meters each request at a wholesale per-token rate. The operator's per-tenant markup and FX are applied in the Mesh pricing path to produce a retail price billed to their subscriber in local currency. Wholesale, retail and the margin between them are recorded on every request and totalled on a per-tenant, per-period invoice. Subscriber sees the telco's brand only White-label surface your logo, your colours Playground + Platform ISOLATED PER TENANT Mesh pricing path wholesale × markup × FX = retail metered per request, in PKR margin recorded on every call PER TENANT, PER PERIOD Wholesale — what Sentinel charges you Retail — what you charge them Margin — the difference, itemised
One wholesale rate in, your markup and FX applied per tenant, retail billed to your subscriber — and the difference itemised on every request rather than reconciled at month end.

Start as a developer. Grow into an operator.

The same gateway serves both ends of that, so nothing has to be rebuilt when you cross over.

One path: developer to operator Day one is a single API key against prepaid credits. The same console later grows an admin side with per-tenant markup, credits, quotas and keys. Both ends run on the same gateway, so crossing from developer to operator requires no migration. Day one — one key your SDK, a new base URL, prepaid credits in PKR A DEVELOPER Later — tenants the same console grows an admin side: per-tenant markup, credits, quotas, keys AN OPERATOR THE SAME GATEWAY THE WHOLE WAY — NOTHING IS REBUILT AT THE CROSSOVER auth · guardrails · metering · sovereign routing
One door, two depths. A solo developer and a telco operator are at different points on the same path — and because it is the same gateway throughout, crossing over is a change in scale rather than a migration.

Day one — one key. Point an existing OpenAI, Anthropic or Gemini SDK at sentinel.junaid.pk/v1, pay from prepaid credits in PKR, ship on a live 35B model without a foreign cloud account. See the Quickstart.

Later — tenants. The same console grows an admin side: per-tenant markup, credits, quotas and keys, each isolated, each invoiced. See Reseller.

What you are actually buying

  • A price you control — wholesale × your markup × FX, applied in the pricing path rather than reconciled afterwards.
  • Margin you can see per request — not a monthly total you have to trust.
  • A white-label surface — your logo and colours across the Playground and Platform your subscribers use.
  • Isolated tenants — an operator console at /app/admin for markup, credits, quotas and keys.
  • Caps that hold — every key rate-capped, every tenant quota-bounded. AI spend stops being the line item nobody can bound.

Built by people who already build telco systems

Sentinel is not an AI company’s first encounter with a mobile network. Mercurial Minds has a telecom practice that predates it — the unglamorous core, not just the demo layer:

12+ years, 18 countries, 300+ projects across telco, banking and fintech, energy and government — and a collaborating firm of Andersen Consulting, so global advisory reach with delivery that is local.

Why that matters more than it sounds

Reselling AI is not an API problem. The API is the easy part.

The hard part is everything the API has to survive contact with: identity (who is this subscriber, and on which plan), billing (rate it, invoice it, dispute it), provisioning (turn it on for a segment without a migration), support (a tier-1 agent has to explain a charge), and the NOC (it pages someone at 3am and that someone needs a runbook).

Those are the systems Mercurial Minds already builds. When Sentinel meters a request, prices it against a per-tenant markup, and puts it on an invoice line, that design comes from people who have been on the other side of the integration — not from an inference vendor guessing what an operator needs.

What you can ask for beyond the gateway

Because the same firm builds both, the integration work is not somebody else’s problem:

  • Wiring the gateway into your existing identity and BSS, rather than running a parallel billing island.
  • Self-care and CRM surfaces so subscribers see AI as part of your product, not a separate portal.
  • Contact-centre automation on the same in-country inference — one of M.M’s five horizontals, alongside IT, HR, Finance and Cyber Security.
  • NOC-grade operations — the monitoring discipline that already runs 24/7 networks, applied to the inference you are reselling.

Your team, scoped

Running a fleet is a team activity, so the console is multi-user. Your operators sit in a shared workspace with real roles — admin for keys and billing, analyst for read-only monitoring, viewer for everyone who just needs the numbers — and the workspace someone is acting as decides whose credits a request spends.

The reseller operator role is scoped to your fleet: downstream tenants, markup, credits, quotas, margin. It deliberately does not reach the routing engine or another reseller’s traffic.

Why this is a revenue line, not a cost centre

AI spend is usually invisible until the invoice arrives, and impossible to attribute to the customer who caused it. Sentinel inverts that: the metering that prices your cost is the same metering that prices your customer’s bill, so margin is a property of every request instead of a quarterly surprise.

Underneath, it is the Sentinel Mesh gateway — the same one described under For defence. What differs is what you are selling, not what is running.
