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

working-capital-optimization 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.

Working Capital Optimization

Optimize the cash conversion cycle — the time between spending cash and collecting it back. Improve DPO (days payable outstanding), accelerate collections, reduce cash tied up in operations, and negotiate better payment terms.

Purpose

Working capital is the cash tied up in day-to-day operations — the gap between paying vendors and collecting from customers. Most startups bleed cash through inefficient payment cycles without realizing it. This skill systematically identifies and captures that hidden cash, improving liquidity without raising a single dollar.

When to Use

  • "Optimize our working capital"
  • "Improve our cash conversion cycle"
  • "Should we negotiate better payment terms?"
  • "How can we extend DPO without damaging relationships?"
  • "Analyze our working capital efficiency"

Inputs Required

  1. Current AP and AR data — from accounts-payable-management and accounts-receivable-management.
  2. Current payment terms — per vendor and per customer.
  3. Cash forecast — from cash-forecasting to see impact of changes.
  4. Revenue and expense data — trailing 12 months.

Quick Reference

Metric Formula Target
DSO (Days Sales Outstanding) (AR / Revenue) × days Lower is better — collect faster
DPO (Days Payable Outstanding) (AP / COGS) × days Higher is better — pay slower
DIO (Days Inventory Outstanding) (Inventory / COGS) × days Lower is better (often 0 for SaaS)
CCC (Cash Conversion Cycle) DIO + DSO - DPO Negative if possible
Every day of DPO gained (Annual spend / 365) × 1 day ~$1,370 per $500k spend per day

Procedure

1. Benchmark Current State

Calculate DPO, DSO, and CCC for the last 3 months. Show the trend.

2. Identify Quick Wins

Score each lever:

Action Cash Impact Effort Risk Priority
Switch largest 3 SaaS subs to annual (negotiate discount) $30k upfront outlay, $3.6k savings/year Low Low 1
Re-negotiate top 5 vendor terms from net-30 to net-45 15 days extra float on $50k/mo = $25k avg cash benefit Medium Low 2
Auto-charge SMB customers vs manual invoicing Reduces DSO by 5-10 days Medium Medium (churn risk) 3
Offer 10% annual prepay to top 10 customers $200k cash now vs spread over 12 months Medium Medium (dilution) 4

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.
