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

competitive-analysis 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.

Competitive Analysis

When to Use

Activate when a founder needs to analyze the competitive landscape, evaluate specific competitors, find differentiation opportunities, or prepare a competitive brief. Trigger phrases include "who are our competitors," "analyze this competitor," "competitive landscape," "how do we compare to X," "feature comparison," "what's our moat," or "differentiation opportunities." Also activate before fundraising (investors will ask) or when entering a new market segment.

Context Required

  • From startup-context: product description, target market, current positioning, key differentiators, pricing model, geographic scope.
  • From the user: specific competitors to analyze (or request to identify them), market/industry segment to scope, the strategic question driving the analysis (positioning, pricing, feature gaps, market entry).

Workflow

  1. Scope the market -- Define the market boundaries, industry segment, and customer type. Precision here determines whether the competitive set is meaningful.
  2. Identify 5 primary competitors -- Find direct competitors (same problem, same customer), adjacent competitors (different approach to same problem), and emerging entrants. Distinguish between direct competitors and alternatives (including "do nothing" or manual workarounds).
  3. Gather competitive intelligence -- Research each competitor across: product capabilities, pricing/business model, positioning and messaging, distribution channels, team/funding, and traction signals. Use competitor websites, pricing pages, customer reviews (G2, Capterra), job postings, and product trials as primary sources.
  4. Assess strengths and weaknesses -- For each competitor, identify core product strengths, product gaps, business model advantages, and competitive threats. Validate insights across multiple sources.
  5. Map differentiation opportunities -- Identify unmet customer pain points no competitor addresses well, underserved segments, and areas where you can credibly win. Focus on where the market is heading, not just where it is.
  6. Synthesize strategic positioning -- Formulate a competitive positioning recommendation with suggested positioning, key differentiators, target segments to prioritize, competitors to monitor, and 12-18 month competitive risks.

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.
