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

merger-model 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.

Merger Model

Workflow

Step 1: Gather Inputs

Acquirer:

  • Company name, current share price, shares outstanding
  • LTM and NTM EPS (GAAP and adjusted)
  • P/E multiple
  • Pre-tax cost of debt, tax rate
  • Cash on balance sheet, existing debt

Target:

  • Company name, current share price, shares outstanding (if public)
  • LTM and NTM EPS or net income
  • Enterprise value or equity value

Deal Terms:

  • Offer price per share (or premium to current)
  • Consideration mix: % cash vs. % stock
  • New debt raised to fund cash portion
  • Expected synergies (revenue and cost) and phase-in timeline
  • Transaction fees and financing costs
  • Expected close date

Step 2: Purchase Price Analysis

Step 3: Sources & Uses

Step 4: Pro Forma EPS (Accretion / Dilution)

Calculate year-by-year (Year 1-3):

Step 5: Sensitivity Analysis

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.
