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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00201 | $0.02835 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00101 | $0.01418 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00040 | $0.00567 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00283 |
Grade A, and why
xlsx 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 6d 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.
This is a copy
92% identical to xlsx — 18 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Requirements for Outputs
All Excel files
Professional Font
- Use a consistent, professional font (e.g., Arial, Times New Roman) for all deliverables unless otherwise instructed by the user
Zero Formula Errors
- Every Excel model MUST be delivered with ZERO formula errors (#REF!, #DIV/0!, #VALUE!, #N/A, #NAME?)
Preserve Existing Templates (when updating templates)
- Study and EXACTLY match existing format, style, and conventions when modifying files
- Never impose standardized formatting on files with established patterns
- Existing template conventions ALWAYS override these guidelines
Financial models
Color Coding Standards
Unless otherwise stated by the user or existing template
Industry-Standard Color Conventions
- Blue text (RGB: 0,0,255): Hardcoded inputs, and numbers users will change for scenarios
- Black text (RGB: 0,0,0): ALL formulas and calculations
- Green text (RGB: 0,128,0): Links pulling from other worksheets within same workbook
- Red text (RGB: 255,0,0): External links to other files
- Yellow background (RGB: 255,255,0): Key assumptions needing attention or cells that need to be updated
Number Formatting Standards
Required Format Rules
- Years: Format as text strings (e.g., "2024" not "2,024")
- Currency: Use $#,##0 format; ALWAYS specify units in headers ("Revenue ($mm)")
- Zeros: Use number formatting to make all zeros "-", including percentages (e.g., "$#,##0;($#,##0);-")
- Percentages: Default to 0.0% format (one decimal)
- Multiples: Format as 0.0x for valuation multiples (EV/EBITDA, P/E)
- Negative numbers: Use parentheses (123) not minus -123
Formula Construction Rules
Assumptions Placement
- Place ALL assumptions (growth rates, margins, multiples, etc.) in separate assumption cells
- Use cell references instead of hardcoded values in formulas
- Example: Use =B5*(1+$B$6) instead of =B5*1.05
Formula Error Prevention
- Verify all cell references are correct
- Check for off-by-one errors in ranges
- Ensure consistent formulas across all projection periods
- Test with edge cases (zero values, negative numbers)
- Verify no unintended circular references
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.
