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

grant-review 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Grant Review

Two independent passes, run in this order, plus a traceability deliverable. Do not soften findings; a hard review here is cheaper than a rejection.

Pass 1 — Compliance audit

Work through requirements.md mechanically. For every requirement, verify against the actual draft files (not from memory):

  • Every required narrative section exists and answers its verbatim prompt.
  • Every limit respected: pages, words, characters (count them), font, margins, spacing, file naming, file format.
  • Every required attachment present or explicitly tracked as pending with an owner and date.
  • Every "must/shall" statement in the announcement satisfied.
  • Budget totals within award range; match requirement met; budget narrative matches workbook.
  • All statistics carry citations that appear in research/evidence.md.

Any failure is a blocker. List blockers first, plainly.

Pass 2 — Mock scorer

Adopt the persona of a tired reviewer on their fourteenth application of the day, scoring strictly against the funder's published rubric (or a standard rubric — need 25 / design 30 / capacity 20 / evaluation 15 / budget 10 — if none was published).

For each scored criterion: assign points with a one-paragraph justification written as a reviewer comment, quote the weakest passage, and state the single change that would most raise the score. Score honestly against the likely field of applicants, not against effort. Then report: total score, the three highest-leverage revisions, and a judgment — "fund", "fundable with revisions", or "not competitive as written" — with the reason.

Also run the house-style humanization check across the full application: any surviving AI tells, banned phrases, or unsourced numbers get flagged as revision items.

Deliverable — Compliance matrix (final/compliance-matrix.xlsx)

A traceability table, one row per requirement: Requirement (verbatim) | Source (page/section of announcement) | Where addressed (document, section, page) | Status (met / partial / missing) | Notes. This doubles as the user's final pre-submission checklist and, for federal grants, a defensible record of diligence.

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.
