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

ma-strategy 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 9d 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.

M&A Strategy

Use the business-consulting:m-and-a-strategy skill to analyze the M&A question.

Analysis Steps

  1. Strategic Rationale — Articulate the M&A thesis: Why acquire? What capability/market/product gap does this fill? How does it accelerate the corporate strategy? Apply the buy vs. build vs. partner framework.

  2. Target Screening — Develop screening criteria (must-haves and nice-to-haves). Score potential targets on strategic fit, financial attractiveness, integration complexity, and cultural compatibility:

    Target Strategic Fit Financial Fit Integration Risk Cultural Fit Total Score
  3. Synergy Assessment — Quantify synergy potential:

    • Revenue synergies: Cross-sell, geographic expansion, pricing power, new products
    • Cost synergies: Headcount, procurement, facilities, IT, shared services
    • Capital synergies: Working capital, capex optimization Include confidence weighting (high/medium/low) and realization timeline.
  4. Valuation Range — Estimate indicative valuation using comparable company multiples, precedent transactions, and DCF (if data allows). Present as a football field chart.

  5. Integration Assessment — Evaluate integration complexity across functions (IT, Finance, HR, Sales, Operations). Classify the integration approach (absorption, preservation, symbiosis). Identify top 10 integration risks.

  6. 100-Day Integration Plan — Design a phased plan:

    • Pre-close: Clean room planning, Day 1 readiness
    • Days 1–30: Stabilize operations, retain key talent, quick wins
    • Days 31–100: Execute functional integration, capture initial synergies
    • Days 101–365: Optimize, scale synergies, cultural integration
  7. Deal Recommendation — Synthesize with a clear go/no-go recommendation supported by financial and strategic evidence.

Output Requirements

  • Present target screening as a scored comparison matrix
  • Quantify all synergies with dollar values and confidence levels
  • Include valuation range with supporting methodology
  • End with a clear recommendation and key risks to monitor
