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

organisational-culture 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 6d 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.

Organisational Culture

What you see in an organisation -- the open-plan offices, the Friday beers, the branded hoodies -- is the tip of the iceberg. Roughly ten percent of culture is visible. The remaining ninety percent sits submerged: the unspoken beliefs, the unstated power hierarchies, the assumptions so deeply embedded that no one thinks to question them. Edgar Schein, the MIT professor who spent decades dissecting how organisations actually work, argued that most culture-change initiatives fail because they redecorate the tip while ignoring the mass below the waterline. The iceberg metaphor is not merely illustrative; it is diagnostic. Misread which level of culture you are dealing with, and your intervention will achieve nothing -- or worse, provoke the immune response that organisations mount against superficial change.

Schein's framework identifies three distinct layers, each progressively harder to observe and exponentially harder to alter. Understanding these layers is not an academic exercise. For founders, it is the difference between building a company that scales with coherence and one that fractures under the weight of its own contradictions.


The Framework

Layer 1: Artifacts (The Visible Surface)

Artifacts are everything you can see, hear, and touch when you walk into an organisation. Office layout. Dress code. Meeting rituals. The language people use in Slack channels. The way decisions get announced. These are tangible, immediately observable -- and profoundly misleading if interpreted without context.

A startup with a foosball table and no dress code might appear egalitarian. The reality could be a cult of personality where the CEO's whims override all process. Artifacts are symptoms, not diagnoses.

Common artifacts include:

  • Physical environment and workspace design
  • Published values and mission statements
  • Rituals, ceremonies, and recurring events
  • Stories and legends told about the company's origins
  • Organisational charts and reporting structures
  • Technology choices and communication tools
