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

pm-distinctive-competence 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Distinctive Competencies (Framework: Market → Distinctive Competencies)

Articulate and leverage the organization's unique abilities to deliver value to the market. These are the strengths you intersect with validated market problems to find opportunities that are ideal for you (see the market-problem test and the opportunity-scoring attributes in ../pm-copilot/references/framework.md).

The test — an attribute is a distinctive competency only if it is all three

  • Valued — the market actually cares about it (it maps to a real problem they'll pay to solve).
  • Differentmaterially different from competitors and alternatives, not table stakes.
  • Provable — you have proof (data, track record, patents, references), not just a claim.

Brainstorm broadly first (how you build, deliver, sell, and support), then filter hard. Most candidate strengths fail the "different" or "provable" test — that's expected.

Interview the user (batch questions)

  1. Brainstorm: where does your organization deliver value across the whole lifecycle (build, deliver, sell, support, data, brand, relationships, IP)?
  2. For each attribute — is it materially different from competitors and alternatives?
  3. What's your proof it's both valued and different? (metrics, wins, patents, references)
  4. Which market problems (from pm-market-problems) do these strengths let you solve better than anyone?

Artifact template

# Distinctive Competencies — <organization / product>

**Company:** <company>  ·  **Feature / Product:** <feature / product name>
**Author:** <author>  ·  **Date created:** <date>  ·  **Version:** 1.0

Brainstorm attributes where your organization delivers value, then test each:
*valued? · materially different? · provable?*

| Attribute | Valued? (Y/N) | Different? (Y/N) | Proof |
| :--- | :---: | :---: | :--- |
| <attribute> | Y | Y | <evidence> |
| <attribute> | Y | N | <why it fails — table stakes> |

## Articulate your Distinctive Competencies
Based on this assessment, the attributes that are valued **and** different **and**
provable are:

1. **Distinctive Competency:** <statement>
2. **Distinctive Competency:** <statement>
3. **Distinctive Competency:** <statement>

## How these map to market problems
