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

funding 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 11d 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.

Funding Signals

Funding rounds are the #5 buying signal by purchase correlation. They indicate new budget availability, board-mandated growth targets, and urgency to scale. Reach out 2-4 weeks after announcement for optimal timing.

Reference Files

  • Read {SKILL_BASE}/resources/buying-signals.md for signal ranking and benchmarks
  • Read {SKILL_BASE}/resources/signal-taxonomy.md for firmographic triggers (Category V)

Why Funding Signals Work

  • New budget available - board expects the money to be deployed
  • Mandate for growth spending - investors want velocity
  • Scale pain emerges - what worked at Series A breaks at Series B
  • Standardization moment - time to replace patchwork tools
  • Series A/B/C funding = 45 points (Tier 2 signal)
  • Funding $10M+ = Act within 24 hours (Tier 2 SLA)
  • Funding <$10M = Act within 72 hours (Tier 3 SLA)

Timing Framework

Window Priority Action
Week 1 Too early They are celebrating, doing press - monitor only
Weeks 2-4 Peak Outreach window - they are planning spend
Weeks 5-8 Good Still allocating budget, hiring started
Weeks 9+ Declining Budget likely committed to vendors already

Detection Sources

  • Crunchbase - API or Clay enrichment for funding rounds
  • Press releases - TechCrunch, company blogs, LinkedIn announcements
  • Clay enrichment - Auto-detect funding events on target accounts
  • LinkedIn posts - Founders/CEOs announce rounds
  • PitchBook / CB Insights - Premium data for larger deals

Signal Scoring by Round

Round Points Rationale
Seed / Pre-Seed 20 Early stage, limited budget
Series A ($5-15M) 35 Building initial stack
Series B ($15-50M) 45 Scaling pain, replacing tools
Series C+ ($50M+) 45 Enterprise needs, standardization
IPO 50 Major transformation, compliance needs

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.
