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

champion-building 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.

Champion Building

Purpose

Determine whether you have a real champion (not just a friendly contact), arm them to sell internally on your behalf, and test their actual power before you stake the deal on them.

Inputs

  • The deal and its key contacts (names, titles, who you actually talk to)
  • What each contact has done for you so far — intros, meetings booked, info shared
  • The buying process: who signs, who else has to say yes
  • What you've given them and what they've given back

Method

1. The champion vs coach test

Two separate questions — a contact must pass both to be a champion:

  • Do they have power? Can they influence budget, get you to the economic buyer, or move the process? A friendly junior with no authority is not a champion.
  • Are they selling for you when you're not in the room? A champion advocates internally, defends your price, forwards your business case, and pushes the deal forward without you prompting.

Classify each contact:

  • Champion = power + selling for you. Rare. Protect and invest.
  • Coach = no power, but feeds you intel and tells you the truth. Valuable, but cannot close the deal for you. Use them to find and build a champion.
  • Supporter = likes you, no power, not actively selling. A lead, not a champion.
  • Blocker / no-decision = neutral or against. Manage around, don't invest in.

A coach who gains power, or a supporter you enable to advocate, becomes a champion.

2. Arm them — enablement assets

A champion can only sell as well as the ammunition you give them. Build assets for their internal audience, not for you:

  • Business case / one-pager — the problem, the cost of inaction, your solution, expected outcome. In their CFO/exec's language, not feature-speak.
  • Internal deck — 5-7 slides they can present or forward without you. Self-explanatory.
  • ROI / value model — quantified: hours saved, revenue impact, payback period. Use their numbers so they can defend it under scrutiny.
  • Mutual action plan — the steps to close with owners and dates, so they look organized internally. Rule: every asset must survive being forwarded with no context. If it only makes sense when you present it, it doesn't arm a champion.

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.
