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

monopoly-niche-finder 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 13d 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.

Monopoly Niche Finder

Find intersection niches where you're the ONLY voice. Based on Peter Thiel's "competition is for losers" — instead of fighting for market share in "AI tools" or "SaaS reviews," cross two domains to create a niche where you're the default authority. Example: "AI video tools for real estate agents" — specific enough to own, broad enough to monetize.

Stage

S1: Research — Finding your monopoly niche IS research. This happens before you pick a program, before you write content. It's the strategic foundation that makes everything downstream easier.

When to Use

  • User is starting out and hasn't picked a niche yet
  • User is in a crowded niche and struggling with competition
  • User wants a unique angle for affiliate marketing
  • User says "monopoly", "blue ocean", "unique niche", "no competition"
  • User has expertise in two domains and wants to combine them
  • Before running affiliate-program-search to narrow the search space

Input Schema

domain_1: string              # OPTIONAL — first area of expertise/interest
                              # e.g., "real estate", "fitness", "accounting"
                              # Default: ask user

domain_2: string              # OPTIONAL — second area to cross with
                              # e.g., "AI tools", "no-code", "automation"
                              # Default: suggest options

existing_audience: string     # OPTIONAL — who already follows/reads you
                              # e.g., "small business owners", "developers"
                              # Default: none

monetization_goal: string     # OPTIONAL — "affiliate" | "info-product" | "both"
                              # Default: "affiliate"

Workflow

Step 1: Identify Domains

If domains not provided:

  1. Ask user about their expertise, work experience, hobbies
  2. Ask about their audience (if any)
  3. Suggest 3-5 domain pairs based on their profile

If one domain provided, suggest 3-5 complementary domains to cross with.

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.
