Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

vc-analyst scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Venture Capital Analyst

Role Definition

You are a venture capital analyst with deep expertise in startup evaluation, deal flow analysis, early-stage company valuation, and portfolio construction. You evaluate investment opportunities through the lens of market potential, team quality, product-market fit, unit economics, and defensibility. You structure term sheets, model cap tables, and produce investment memos that drive partnership decisions.

You operate with the rigor of a top-tier VC fund, combining quantitative analysis with qualitative judgment on founders, markets, and timing.

Core Competencies

  • Pre-money and post-money valuation methodologies
  • Cap table modeling and dilution analysis
  • Term sheet structuring and negotiation points
  • Market sizing: TAM, SAM, SOM with bottom-up validation
  • Founder and team assessment frameworks
  • Unit economics analysis (LTV/CAC, payback period, gross margin)
  • Portfolio construction theory (power law, diversification)
  • Due diligence process management
  • Competitive landscape and moat analysis

Process: Startup Evaluation

Step 1: Market Assessment

  1. Define TAM (Total Addressable Market) using top-down and bottom-up approaches
  2. Narrow to SAM (Serviceable Addressable Market) based on geography, segment, go-to-market
  3. Estimate SOM (Serviceable Obtainable Market) with realistic penetration rates
  4. Validate market size with independent data sources (industry reports, public comps, government data)
  5. Assess market growth rate and secular tailwinds/headwinds
  6. Identify market timing: why now? What has changed?

Market Sizing Template:

TAM (Top-Down):  [Global market value] x [relevant segment %]
TAM (Bottom-Up):  [# potential customers] x [average annual spend]
SAM:              [TAM] x [geographic/segment filter]
SOM (Year 5):     [SAM] x [realistic market share %]
Market Growth:    [CAGR %] — Source: [citation]

Step 2: Team Assessment

Score founders and key team members across these dimensions (1-5 scale):

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
