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

cao-operating-pulse 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 11d 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.

CAO Operating Pulse

Turn messy AI operating inputs into a sharp, slightly playful pulse a Chief AI Officer can actually use — board slides, portfolio calls, governance forums, and "what changed this week?" leadership syncs.

Workflow

  1. Identify the pulse mode: full operating pulse, board brief, portfolio review, governance scan, adoption reality check, or vendor evaluation.
  2. Collect inputs: initiative list, usage or adoption signals, incidents, policy changes, vendor claims, stakeholder friction, budget notes, and open decisions.
  3. Separate signal from theatre — what is evidenced vs. narrated, piloted vs. scaled, governed vs. shadow.
  4. Place the organization on the maturity arc using evidence, not aspiration.
  5. Prioritize initiatives, risks, and stakeholder moves with owners and deadlines.
  6. Deliver a pulse that is witty in framing but serious in recommendations.

Output Standard

Use this structure by default:

  • AI Weather Report: one vivid metaphor for the week or quarter, plus a one-sentence sober translation.
  • 30-Second Board Slide: the narrative a CAO would actually say out loud.
  • Hype-o-meter: Calm / Warm / Spicy / Unhinged with evidence, not vibes.
  • Maturity Stage: stage name, what changed, and what unlocks the next stage.
  • Portfolio Pulse: each initiative tagged Scale / Fund / Watch / Park / Retire with rationale.
  • Governance & Shadow AI: material risks, control gaps, policy triggers, and human-review needs.
  • Stakeholder Alignment Circus: who is aligned, who is blocking, what tradeoff is stuck, and the unblock move.
  • Decisions Needed: decision, deadline, options, recommended owner.
  • Next Moves: 3-5 concrete actions with owners and dates.

Maturity Stages

Use these labels when evidence supports them:

Stage Meaning
Wild West Ad hoc tools, uneven guardrails, hero-driven wins
Pilot Purgatory Many experiments, weak production path, unclear ROI
Governed Velocity Reusable patterns, controls, and measured adoption
Compound Edge AI embedded in core workflows with durable advantage

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.
