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

deal-screening 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.

What it actually says

Deal Screening

Workflow

Step 1: Extract Deal Facts

From the provided CIM, teaser, or description, extract:

  • Company: Name, location, sector/subsector
  • Description: What they do (1-2 sentences)
  • Financials: Revenue, EBITDA, margins, growth rate
  • Deal type: Platform, add-on, recap, minority, carve-out
  • Asking price / valuation: Multiple, enterprise value if stated
  • Seller motivation: Why selling now
  • Management: Rolling or exiting
  • Key customers: Concentration risk
  • Key risks: Obvious red flags

Step 2: Screen Against Criteria

Apply the fund's investment criteria (ask user if not known):

Criterion Target Actual Pass/Fail
Revenue range
EBITDA range
EBITDA margin
Growth profile
Sector fit
Geography
Deal size / EV
Valuation (x EBITDA)
Customer concentration
Management continuity

Step 3: Quick Assessment

Provide a 3-part assessment:

  1. Verdict: Pass / Further Diligence / Hard Pass
  2. Bull case (2-3 bullets): Why this could be a good deal
  3. Bear case (2-3 bullets): Key risks and concerns
  4. Key questions: What you'd need to answer on a first call

Step 4: Output

One-page screening memo suitable for sharing with partners or an IC quick screen.

Important Notes

  • Speed matters — screening should take minutes, not hours
  • Be direct about red flags. Don't bury concerns
  • If financials seem inconsistent or incomplete, flag it explicitly
  • Ask for the fund's criteria upfront if this is the first screening
  • Save screening criteria in memory for future deals once confirmed

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.
