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

value-stick 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.

Value Stick Analysis

When to Apply

  • Pricing decisions or reviews
  • Customer says "too expensive"
  • Margin analysis or improvement needed
  • Multi-tier or freemium pricing strategy
  • Strategy Kernel diagnosis involving revenue or pricing

Core Framework

4-Layer Model

WTP (Willingness To Pay) ----------- top of stick
  |
  |  Customer Delight = WTP - Price
  |  (surplus given to customers)
  |
Price ---------------------------------
  |
  |  Firm Margin = Price - Cost
  |  (what the company keeps)
  |
Cost ----------------------------------
  |
  |  Employee/Supplier Satisfaction = Cost - WTS
  |  (surplus given to workers/suppliers)
  |
WTS (Willingness To Sell) ----------- bottom of stick

All strategy reduces to this single bar. Everything — pricing, compensation, supplier negotiation — is how the bar is sliced.

Value Stick Diagnostic

When revenue, pricing, or margin issues surface, diagnose:

WTP (estimated from conversations + alternatives):  $200/mo
Price (actual):                                      $49/mo
Cost (COGS + SGA per customer):                     $30/mo
WTS (min suppliers/employees accept):               $20/mo

Customer Delight: $200 - $49 = $151  (giving away 76% of value)
Firm Margin:      $49 - $30  = $19   (capturing only 11%)
Supplier Surplus:  $30 - $20 = $10

3 Diagnostic Patterns

Pattern Diagnosis Response
WTP too low (stick too short) Customers don't value product enough "Not a pricing problem. Improve the product to raise WTP."
WTP high, price too low (delight giveaway) Value capture failure "Raise price or add premium tier. You've earned the right to charge more."
Cost too high (margin squeezed) Operational problem "Lower WTS through non-cash value (culture, equity, mission) or reduce COGS."

"Too Expensive" Reframe

When customers say "too expensive," do NOT default to "lower the price."

First ask: Is WTP genuinely below the price (product problem), or is the customer anchored to a lower reference point (perception problem)?
