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

competitive-analysis 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 2mo ago.

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.

Competitive Analysis

When to Activate

  • Entering a new market and need to understand the competitive landscape
  • A new competitor enters your space or an existing one makes a significant move
  • Preparing sales battlecards or competitive positioning
  • Informing product roadmap decisions with competitive context
  • Conducting a strategic planning exercise (annual planning, board prep)
  • Win/loss rate declining and need to understand competitive dynamics
  • Evaluating an acquisition target's competitive position

First Questions

  1. What is the specific competitive question you're trying to answer?
  2. Who are you competing against today? (Not who you think — who does sales actually face in deals?)
  3. What market or category are you analyzing?
  4. What decisions will this analysis inform? (Pricing, positioning, product roadmap, go-to-market)
  5. How much time do you have for this analysis? (Quick assessment vs. deep dive)
  6. What internal data do you have? (Win/loss data, sales call recordings, customer feedback)
  7. Is this a one-time analysis or an ongoing competitive intelligence program?

Competitive Landscape Mapping

Step 1: Identify All Competitors

Direct Competitors: Same product, same customer, same problem.

  • These are the alternatives you most frequently encounter in deals.
  • Usually 3-7 primary direct competitors.

Indirect Competitors: Different product, same customer, same problem.

  • They solve the same problem in a fundamentally different way.
  • Example: Zoom (video) vs. in-person meetings vs. phone calls.

Substitute Competitors: Non-consumption or DIY alternatives.

  • Spreadsheets, manual processes, hiring someone, building internally.
  • Often the biggest competitor, especially for new categories.

Potential Future Competitors: Companies that could enter your space.

  • Adjacent players expanding their product scope.
  • Platform companies adding features that overlap with your product.
  • Well-funded startups in adjacent spaces.

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.
