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

onboarding-design 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 8d 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.

When to use

  • New accounts churn inside their first 30 days and the team cannot name which onboarding milestone they failed to reach — drop-off is treated as a single number, not a stage-by-stage signal.
  • A new segment is being onboarded against an onboarding flow built for a previous segment — the milestones likely do not match the new segment's switch-event shape.
  • Time-to-first-value is "days, maybe weeks" — the answer needs to be a number with a falsifiable definition, not a sentiment.

Do NOT use to onboard employees (that is the Wing-4 employee-onboarding program — different audience, different contract), diagnose long-cycle churn (route to churn-prevention), or run the full visitor → paid funnel (route to funnel-analysis).

Cognition cluster

  • Mental model 14 — Meadows leverage points. Onboarding is a high-leverage system: a change in the milestone definition reshapes retention more than a change in the welcome email. Pick the leverage point — milestone definition over surface polish. See docs/contracts/mental-models.md § 14.
  • Mental model 16 — Leading vs. lagging indicators. Time-to-first-value and milestone-completion are leading; D30 retention is lagging. Onboarding decisions built on lagging signals can only confirm churn after it lands. See mental-models.md § 16.
  • Mental model 13 — Occam's razor. When new accounts drop off, the simpler explanation usually wins: "the first milestone is too far from the buyer's job to complete in one session" beats "users do not understand our value proposition." Pick the simpler explanation; it changes the move. See mental-models.md § 13.
  • Context-spine — product + customer-segment + funnel-stage. Read the product slot for what the segment can actually configure unattended, the customer-segment slot for the segment's job and switch-event, and the funnel-stage slot for where activation sits relative to signup and paid. See context-spine.

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.
