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

unit-economics 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.

Unit Economics Analysis

Workflow

Step 1: Identify Business Model

Determine the revenue model to tailor the analysis:

  • SaaS / Subscription: ARR, net retention, cohorts
  • Recurring services: Contract value, renewal rates, upsell
  • Transaction / usage-based: Revenue per transaction, volume trends, take rate
  • Hybrid: Break down by revenue stream

Step 2: Core Metrics

ARR / Revenue Quality
  • ARR bridge: Beginning ARR → New → Expansion → Contraction → Churn → Ending ARR
  • ARR by cohort: Vintage analysis — how does each annual cohort retain and grow?
  • Revenue concentration: Top 10/20/50 customers as % of total
  • Revenue by type: Recurring vs. non-recurring vs. professional services
  • Contract structure: ACV distribution, multi-year %, auto-renewal %
Customer Economics
  • CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost): Total S&M spend / new customers acquired
  • LTV (Lifetime Value): (ARPU × Gross Margin) / Churn Rate
  • LTV:CAC ratio: Target >3x for healthy businesses
  • CAC payback period: Months to recover acquisition cost
  • Blended vs. segmented: Break down by customer segment (enterprise vs. SMB vs. mid-market)
Retention & Expansion
  • Gross retention: % of beginning ARR retained (excludes expansion)
  • Net retention (NDR): % of beginning ARR retained including expansion
  • Logo churn: % of customers lost
  • Dollar churn: % of revenue lost (often different from logo churn)
  • Expansion rate: Upsell + cross-sell as % of beginning ARR
Cohort Analysis

Build a cohort matrix showing:

Cohort Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4
2020 $1.0M $1.1M $1.2M $1.1M
2021 $1.5M $1.7M $1.8M
2022 $2.0M $2.3M
2023 $3.0M

Show both absolute $ and indexed (Year 0 = 100%) views.

Margin Waterfall
  • Revenue → Gross Profit → Contribution Margin → EBITDA
  • Fully loaded unit economics: what does it cost to acquire, serve, and retain a customer?
  • Gross margin by revenue stream (subscription vs. services vs. other)

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.
