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

delivering-the-deal 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 5d 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.

Delivering the Deal

LAST MILE -- 80% of negotiations collapse in the final 20%. The cause is always the same: premature relaxation when the finish line appears close. The parties have done the hard work of surfacing interests, generating options, building rapport. The outline of agreement is visible. And precisely at this moment, discipline evaporates. Preparation gives way to improvisation. Obstacles that should be anticipated arrive as surprises. Tactics that should be recognised go undetected. The deal that was 90% complete dies not from irreconcilable differences but from sloppy execution in the closing stretch.

Governor Phil Bredesen of Tennessee -- who built a healthcare company, transformed Nashville's downtown, and recruited the Titans from Houston -- put it plainly during a bus ride through rural China: "A vision without a plan is just a dream." Every negotiator envisions the great deal. Envisioning is the easy part. Delivering requires a systematic preparation process, a protocol for managing obstacles, and a framework for engineering the satisfaction that makes agreements durable.


The Framework

Part I: The Negotiator's Preparation Checklist

Research suggests that 80% of negotiating effort should occur before the parties sit down. The following 21 questions constitute a comprehensive preparation protocol. Working through them requires 30-60 minutes for a standard negotiation, longer for complex multi-party deals. The investment pays returns that compound across every round of the process.

Mapping the Terrain

  1. Who are the parties? Include anyone who will affect or be significantly affected by the outcome -- even those not at the table. The absent stakeholder who can veto a deal is more dangerous than the adversary across from you.
  2. What are the core issues? Identify the two or three fundamental questions the negotiation must answer. Price. Timeline. Scope. Control. Resist the temptation to catalogue every sub-issue at this stage.
  3. How important are the issues relative to the relationship? This single diagnostic determines whether to lead with a competitive or cooperative approach. High issue importance plus high relationship importance demands principled, interest-based negotiation. High issue importance plus low relationship importance permits more aggressive value-claiming.
  4. Will the other party negotiate competitively or cooperatively? Anticipate their posture. If competitive, prepare accordingly -- do not bring a cooperative playbook to a zero-sum fight without a fallback.
  5. What is your intended approach? You may plan to start cooperatively and shift competitive, or vice versa. The key is intentionality. Reactive negotiators lose.
