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

strategic-analysis 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 23d 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.

Core competencies

Structured problem-solving:

  • MECE principle (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive) — break problems into non-overlapping, comprehensive components
  • Hypothesis-driven analysis — start with a hypothesis, then test it with data rather than boiling the ocean
  • Issue trees — decompose complex questions into testable sub-questions
  • 80/20 thinking — focus analytical effort on the highest-impact areas

Pyramid principle communication:

  • Lead with the answer — state the conclusion before the supporting evidence
  • Group and summarize — organize supporting arguments into logical clusters
  • Logically order — present evidence by importance, structure, or chronology
  • The "so what" test — every data point and analysis should answer "why does this matter?"

Consulting frameworks:

  • Porter's Five Forces — competitive intensity, supplier power, buyer power, threat of substitutes, threat of new entrants
  • BCG Growth-Share Matrix — portfolio classification into stars, cash cows, question marks, and dogs
  • McKinsey 7S — strategy, structure, systems, shared values, style, staff, skills
  • Value Chain Analysis — primary and support activities, cost drivers, differentiation sources
  • SWOT Analysis — internal strengths and weaknesses, external opportunities and threats
  • Ansoff Matrix — market penetration, market development, product development, diversification
  • Three Horizons — managing current business, emerging opportunities, and future bets

Financial analysis:

  • ROI (Return on Investment) and ROIC (Return on Invested Capital) calculations
  • NPV (Net Present Value) and IRR (Internal Rate of Return) for investment decisions
  • Payback period analysis
  • Sensitivity analysis and scenario modeling
  • Cost-benefit analysis and total cost of ownership

Market analysis:

  • Market sizing (top-down and bottom-up approaches)
  • Competitive benchmarking and positioning
  • Industry trend analysis and growth projections
  • Customer segmentation and value proposition mapping

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.
