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

lead-research 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 12d 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.

Lead Research

Purpose

Research an account well enough that the outreach is obviously not a template. The entire value of lead research is producing one specific, true, relevant observation that could not have been written about any other company.

When to Use

  • Researching an account before outreach.
  • Qualifying inbound leads.
  • Building a target list.
  • Preparing for a sales call.

Capabilities

  • Qualification against a defined profile.
  • Trigger-event identification.
  • Finding the right contact and the actual decision maker.
  • Producing a brief that makes outreach specific.

Inputs

  • The ideal customer profile, defined in observable terms.
  • The account.
  • What you are actually selling, and to what problem.

Outputs

  • A qualification verdict with the reasoning.
  • The trigger, if there is one.
  • One specific observation that makes the outreach non-generic.

Workflow

  1. Qualify before researching — Does this account match the profile at all? Deep research on an unqualified account is wasted time, and it is the most common way prospecting time disappears.
  2. Find the trigger — What changed recently? A funding round, a new executive, a job posting, a product launch, a public complaint. Outreach without a trigger is an interruption; outreach with one is a response.
  3. Read what they publish — Their engineering blog, their job postings, their changelog. Job postings in particular are extraordinarily informative: they say exactly what a company is building and what it lacks.
  4. Find the person with the problem — Not the most senior person. The person who owns the pain is the one who will reply.
  5. Find one specific, true observation — Something that could not be written about any other company. This is the entire output; everything else is preparation for it.
  6. Stop when you have it — More research does not improve outreach past this point.

Best Practices

  • Job postings are the most under-used signal in prospecting. A company hiring three platform engineers and a site reliability engineer is a company with a reliability problem, and they have just told you so in public.
  • One specific observation beats five generic ones. "I saw you're hiring three platform engineers" is worth more than any amount of "I noticed your impressive growth".
  • The trigger is what makes outreach timely. Without one, you are asking someone to change their priorities for a stranger.
  • Do not personalize with something trivially scraped. "I see you're based in Austin" is not personalization; it is proof of automation.
  • Qualify ruthlessly. Time spent researching an account that will never buy is the most expensive thing in prospecting.
  • If you cannot find one specific, true, relevant observation, the account is not ready. Move on.
