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

dd-checklist 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 today.

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.

Due Diligence Checklist

Workflow

Step 1: Scope the Diligence

Ask the user for:

  • Target company: Name, sector, business model
  • Deal type: Platform acquisition, add-on, growth equity, recap, carve-out
  • Deal size / complexity: Determines depth of diligence
  • Key concerns: Any known issues to prioritize (customer concentration, regulatory, environmental, etc.)
  • Timeline: When is LOI / close targeted?

Step 2: Generate Workstream Checklists

Generate a checklist across all major workstreams, tailored to the sector:

Financial Due Diligence

  • Quality of earnings (QoE) — revenue and EBITDA adjustments
  • Working capital analysis — normalized vs. actual
  • Debt and debt-like items
  • Capital expenditure (maintenance vs. growth)
  • Tax structure and exposure
  • Audit history and accounting policies
  • Pro forma adjustments (run-rate, synergies)

Commercial Due Diligence

  • Market size and growth (TAM/SAM/SOM)
  • Competitive positioning and market share
  • Customer analysis — concentration, retention, NPS
  • Pricing power and contract structure
  • Sales pipeline and backlog
  • Go-to-market effectiveness

Legal Due Diligence

  • Corporate structure and org chart
  • Material contracts (customer, supplier, partnership)
  • Litigation history and pending claims
  • IP portfolio and protection
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Employment agreements and non-competes

Operational Due Diligence

  • Management team assessment
  • Organizational structure and key person risk
  • IT systems and infrastructure
  • Supply chain and vendor dependencies
  • Facilities and real estate
  • Insurance coverage

HR / People Due Diligence

  • Org chart and headcount trends
  • Compensation benchmarking
  • Benefits and pension obligations
  • Key employee retention risk
  • Culture assessment
  • Union/labor agreements

IT / Technology Due Diligence (for tech-enabled businesses)

  • Technology stack and architecture
  • Technical debt assessment
  • Cybersecurity posture
  • Data privacy compliance (GDPR, CCPA, SOC2)
  • Product roadmap and R&D spend
  • Scalability assessment

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.
