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

money-models 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 255 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Note: This skill is independent analysis and commentary, not a reproduction of the original text. It synthesizes the book's core ideas with modern startup practice, surfaces where frameworks are outdated or incomplete, and integrates perspectives from adjacent disciplines.

$100M Money Models

"A Money Model is a sequence of offers." - Alex Hormozi

The Core Insight

A money model is not a single offer - it's a deliberate SEQUENCE of offers, timed so a new customer produces enough cash in the first ~30 days to pay for acquiring and serving the next one.

Most businesses have one product at one price. They spend money to get a customer, then wait months or years to earn it back. That works only if you already have deep cash reserves or investors. Everyone else runs out of money first. The money model fixes the speed of payback, not just the total profit.

This is the third book in Hormozi's sequence: 100m-offers answers "what do I sell?", 100m-leads answers "how do I get attention?", and this one answers "how do I get them to buy - and buy fast enough that cash stops being the constraint?"

Client-Financed Acquisition (the 30-Day Rule)

Recover the full cost to acquire AND serve a customer within 30 days.

The mechanism is a credit card's ~30-day interest-free float:

Put ad spend on the card
   → acquire a customer
   → collect enough cash from them within 30 days
   → pay off the card before the statement is due
   → repeat with the next customer

If first-30-day profit per customer exceeds acquisition + delivery cost, growth self-funds. You never wait on the money.

Grade Definition
Bad money model Costs more to acquire + serve a customer than they pay in 30 days (the death spiral)
Good money model 30-day profit from one customer > cost to acquire + serve that one customer
$100M money model 30-day profit from ONE customer > cost to acquire + serve MANY customers - cash is no longer a limit on growth
