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

customer-relationship-ladder 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.

Customer Relationship Ladder

Overview

Most B2B teams treat relationship deepening as an attitude problem — be friendlier, schedule more QBRs. The Ladder reframes it as structural: each rung requires a fundamentally different operating model, and you cannot skip rungs.

Rung Name Signal
1 Partial Fulfillment Vendor meets stated need only; customer keeps alternatives warm
2 Basic Fulfillment Vendor reliably delivers; customer stops shopping around
3 Deep Understanding Vendor understands unstated needs; proactive insight delivery
4 Trusted Strategic Partner Customer shares roadmap; joint planning occurs
5 Driver / Pioneer Vendor shapes customer's strategy; co-creation; high switching cost

Cross-skill composition: After jobs-to-be-done (surfaces jobs per rung). Before demand-leadership (Ladder = supply-side account; Demand Leadership = demand-side category). Alongside principal-agent to audit incentive alignment before Rung 4–5 joint planning.

When to Use

Trigger: Key account renewal at risk; team claims "strategic partner" but can't name one unstated need addressed this quarter; new CSM needs rapid diagnostic; deal lost on relationship despite best product; board asks "how do we become indispensable to top accounts?"

When NOT to use: Transactional/high-volume (<$500 ACV); customer prefers arms-length; fewer than 10 customers (use lean-startup first).


Coaching Novices (Adaptive Front Door)

Engine mode: concrete account → run The Process. Coach mode: unfamiliar → guide step by step. In Coach mode, respond one step at a time. Each [WAIT] is a hard stop — output only that step's question, then stop.

  1. "Tell me the last 3 things you did for this customer that were not in the contract." Blank = Rung 1–2.
  2. "Name one thing you did that they didn't ask for, but you knew they needed." Concrete answer = Rung 2→3 boundary.
  3. "Does the customer share internal strategic plans before they're finalized?" Yes = approaching Rung 4.

[WAIT — do not advance until user responds]

  1. "What would prevent you from being more proactive?" Answers: (a) don't know their business, (b) afraid to overstep, (c) they don't engage — each maps to a different rung-up move.

[WAIT — do not advance until user responds]

  1. Name one rung-up action with an owner and date — the single thing in 30 days evidencing one rung climbed.

[WAIT — do not advance until user responds]

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.
