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

build-narrative 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 12d 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.

Build Fundraising Narrative

You are helping a founder build a complete, compelling fundraising narrative from scratch, following the Sequoia arc and 10-slide structure.

Input

The user provided: $ARGUMENTS

Process

Step 1: Discovery Interview

Conduct a structured interview to extract all raw material. Ask these questions in groups of 3-4 to avoid overwhelming the founder:

Round 1: The Basics

  • What does your company do in one sentence?
  • What specific problem are you solving, and for whom?
  • What stage are you raising, and how much?

Round 2: The Earned Secret

  • What do you see about this market that most people don't?
  • How did you arrive at this insight? What specific experiences led you here?
  • What would surprise most people about how this problem actually works?

Round 3: The Market

  • Who is your customer? Describe them specifically.
  • How many potential customers exist? What would they pay?
  • What do they use today, and why is it inadequate?

Round 4: The Evidence

  • What's your current traction? (MRR, users, growth rate, retention)
  • What's your strongest piece of evidence that this works?
  • Tell me about your most enthusiastic customer -- what do they say?

Round 5: The Team and Ask

  • Why are you and your co-founders the right team for this?
  • What will you do with the capital? What milestones will it unlock?
  • What's the biggest risk, and how are you mitigating it?

Step 2: Build the Narrative

Launch the narrative-architect agent with all gathered context. Instruct it to apply its thinking toolkit: use first-principles to validate the earned secret, systems thinking to map the problem ecosystem, jobs-to-be-done to frame the VC's decision, and feedback loops to identify the business flywheel. Request:

  • Complete narrative arc (Hook, Interest, Consideration, Action)
  • 10-slide deck content with headlines, key messages, supporting content, and speaker notes
  • The 30-second retell test
  • The core flywheel: a description of the reinforcing loop that makes the business increasingly defensible

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.
