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

process-letter 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.

Process Letter

Workflow

Step 1: Determine Letter Type

  • Initial process letter: Sent with teaser/CIM to outline the process and IOI requirements
  • IOI instructions: Specific requirements for first-round indications of interest
  • Second round / final bid letter: Instructions for submitting binding offers after diligence
  • Management meeting invitation: Logistics for in-person management presentations

Step 2: Initial Process Letter / IOI Instructions

Header:

  • Date, deal code name
  • "Confidential"
  • Addressed to prospective buyer

Sections:

  1. Introduction: Brief overview of the opportunity and the seller's objectives
  2. Process Overview: Timeline, key dates, expected number of rounds
  3. IOI Requirements: What to include in the initial indication:
    • Proposed valuation range (enterprise value)
    • Consideration form (cash, stock, earnout, rollover)
    • Financing sources and certainty
    • Key due diligence requirements
    • Indicative timeline to close
    • Any conditions or contingencies
    • Brief description of the buyer and strategic rationale
  4. Submission Details: Where to send, deadline (date and time), format
  5. Confidentiality Reminder: Reference to NDA, data room access
  6. Contact Information: Banker contacts for questions

Step 3: Final Bid / Second Round Letter

Additional requirements beyond IOI:

  1. Markup of purchase agreement: Provide the draft SPA/APA and request markup
  2. Detailed financing commitments: Committed financing letters required
  3. Remaining diligence items: Specify what confirmatory diligence is expected
  4. Exclusivity terms: Duration and conditions of any exclusivity period
  5. Regulatory analysis: Antitrust filing requirements and timeline
  6. Key personnel terms: Employment agreements, compensation, rollover equity
  7. Binding vs. non-binding: Clarify what is binding at this stage
  8. Evaluation criteria: How bids will be evaluated (price, certainty, speed, fit)
