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

discovery-call 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.

Discovery Call

Purpose

Run a discovery call that gets the buyer talking, surfaces and quantifies the pain behind their interest, qualifies the deal, and ends with a confirmed next step — not a vague "let's circle back."

Inputs

  • Who you're meeting and their role (economic buyer, champion, user, blocker?)
  • What you already know about the deal/account (prior calls, inbound trigger, CRM)
  • The single thing you need this call to advance (problem clarity? next meeting? access to power?)

Method

1. Run a SPIN-style question ladder. Move through four stages — never open with your product. Each stage earns the right to the next:

  • Situation — establish the lay of the land. Keep these few and fast; buyers resent being interrogated about facts you could have researched. "Walk me through how your team handles X today." / "Who owns that process?"
  • Problem — surface dissatisfaction. "Where does that break down?" / "What's the most frustrating part of that today?" / "How often does that bite you?"
  • Implication — make the problem expensive. This is the stage reps skip and the one that creates urgency. "When that slips, what's the downstream cost?" / "Who else feels it when that happens?" / "What does that do to your number / your team's time?"
  • Need-payoff — let the buyer articulate the value of solving it. "If you could make that go away, what would it be worth?" / "What would solving this free your team to do?" Buyers convince themselves when they say the payoff out loud.

2. Quantify the pain in the moment. A problem without a number is a hobby. Before you leave any pain, anchor it:

  • Frequency × cost: "How many times a month? And roughly what does each one cost you in hours or dollars?"
  • Baseline → target: "Where is it now? Where does it need to be?"
  • Cost of inaction: "What happens if nothing changes by [date]?" Write the number down and feed it back: "So that's ~£X a quarter — did I get that right?" The confirmed number becomes your business case.

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.
