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

channel-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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/channel_mix_optimizer.py, scripts/channel_roi_analyzer.py, scripts/cost_to_serve_calculator.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Purpose

Help Head of Commercial / RevOps / VP Sales answer three questions at the quarterly channel review:

  1. What does each channel actually cost to serve, fully loaded? (direct headcount, channel manager attribution, partner discount, MDF, enablement time, support load, allocated overhead)
  2. What is the ROI of each channel under three lenses? (cash ROI year-1, LTV-adjusted ROI, marginal ROI — next dollar of investment)
  3. What is the optimal channel mix subject to our strategic constraints? (minimum direct floor, maximum partner concentration ceiling, sensitivity to CAC shifts)

The skill emits per-channel verdicts (DOUBLE-DOWN / MAINTAIN / DEFUND / EXIT), a sensitivity-tested mix recommendation, and the diminishing-returns inflection point. It does not pick the strategy — humans do, with the numbers loaded honestly for the first time.

When to use

  • Quarterly channel review: pipeline is 60/40 or 50/50 direct vs partner and you don't actually know which one is profitable
  • Considering hiring a channel manager — need to know if the channel can clear the loaded-cost bar
  • Partner program ROI question from the board ("we spent $X on MDF — what did we get?")
  • A segment is over-indexed to one channel and you suspect mix dogma is blocking the other
  • About to expand into a new region and need to decide direct-first vs partner-first
  • M&A diligence: target company claims "partner-led at 70% gross margin" — need to validate after loading

Do not use for:

  • Designing partner tiers, joint GTM motion, revshare splits → partnerships-architect
  • SDR-to-AE routing, lead scoring, MQL definitions → business-growth/revenue-operations
  • Strategic CRO decisions ("should we hire a VP Sales?", comp plan design) → c-level-advisor/cro-advisor
  • Quarterly close, GAAP revenue recognition, channel-level P&L for historical reporting → finance/financial-analysis
  • Per-deal discount approval → deal-desk
  • Pricing model design → pricing-strategist

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.
