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

case-study-writing 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 4d 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.

Case Study Writing

Structure

The Honest Arc

  1. Context — Company, timeline, your role, team size. No fluff. Just facts.
  2. Problem — What was broken, missing, or failing. Be specific with metrics if you have them.
  3. Constraints — What made this hard. Budget, timeline, technical limits, organizational politics. Constraints make the story real.
  4. Process — What you actually did. Not a waterfall diagram. The real, messy process including dead ends.
  5. Key decisions — The 2-3 decisions that mattered most. What were the options? Why did you choose what you chose?
  6. What failed — What didn't work. What you tried and abandoned. This is where credibility lives.
  7. Outcome — Measurable results. Revenue, conversion, engagement, adoption, time saved. Numbers beat adjectives.
  8. Reflection — What you'd do differently. What you learned.

Common Mistakes

  • Starting with "I was tasked with..." (passive, boring)
  • Showing only the happy path (nobody believes it)
  • Screenshot galleries with no explanation
  • Process diagrams that describe methodology, not actual work
  • Focusing on deliverables instead of decisions
  • No metrics (words like "improved" and "enhanced" mean nothing alone)
  • Writing for other designers instead of the intended audience

Writing Quality

Lead with the Outcome

Don't make people read 2000 words to find out what happened. State the result upfront, then explain how you got there.

Bad opening: "In Q3 2024, the team identified an opportunity to improve the onboarding experience..."

Good opening: "We cut onboarding drop-off by 34% in six weeks. Here's the decision that made the difference."

Show Your Thinking

Screenshots of final designs are the least interesting part. Show:

  • The whiteboard sketch that unlocked the solution
  • The comparison of 3 approaches you considered
  • The data that changed your mind
  • The prototype that users rejected (and why)

Write for Your Audience

  • For hiring managers: emphasize process, collaboration, impact
  • For founders: emphasize speed, business outcomes, constraints handled
  • For peers: emphasize craft decisions, technical tradeoffs, methodology
