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

yc-pitch-deck 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 7d 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.

YC Pitch Deck

Core Philosophy

Lead with whatever is most impressive. Clarity beats accuracy (80% accurate, 100% clear > 100% accurate, 80% clear). Every slide supports ONE idea. Investors spend ~10 seconds per slide.

Slide Structure (7-10 slides)

1. Title

  • Company name + one-liner (max 10 words)
  • Must pass the "mom test": can a non-technical person understand what you do?
  • Bad: "Revolutionizing the paradigm of cloud-native microservice orchestration"
  • Good: "The app store for microservices"
  • Include: stage, founder name, date. Nothing else.

2. Problem

  • Max 3 pain points. Each must be visceral and specific, not abstract.
  • Use the P.A.I.N. framework: Problem, Audience, Impact, Non-obvious insight
  • Bad: "Deployment is inefficient and outdated"
  • Good: "12M vibecoders build apps daily. <1% ever get deployed. Zero marketplaces exist."
  • Include real data, quotes, or specific examples. No opinions.
  • The insight (what everyone else missed) is the most important part.

3. Solution

  • One headline benefit (max 12 words)
  • Show the product, not a description. Screenshot, demo, or UI mockup.
  • 2-3 bullet outcomes (what changes for the user), not features
  • Bad: "Cloud-based platform with auto-scaling and CI/CD pipeline integration"
  • Good: "Push code, get a live URL with payments. 45 seconds."

4. How It Works (optional but powerful)

  • 3-step flow maximum. Each step: verb + outcome
  • Show the actual UI/CLI/flow, not a diagram of boxes and arrows
  • End with the result: "From X to Y in Z time"

5. Market + Timing

  • Bottom-up TAM, not top-down. Show the math.
  • Bad: "$180B cloud market, we capture 0.5%"
  • Good: "12M vibecoders x $20/mo avg spend = $2.9B SAM. 50K early adopters x $20 = $12M SOM year 1"
  • "Why now?" is critical: what changed that makes this possible TODAY?
  • Include 2-3 comparable companies with valuations to anchor investor mental models

6. Business Model

  • One sentence: how you make money
  • Airbnb: "10% commission on each transaction" (that's it)
  • Show pricing tiers or unit economics if they're compelling
  • If marketplace: show both sides (take rate, seller earnings)

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.
