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

discovery-call-framework 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 9d 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.

Discovery Call Framework

When to use

Structure a 30-minute initial discovery call with a prospect. Works for SaaS AEs, consultants, service providers. Goal: uncover timeline, budget, decision criteria, and pain depth, not to pitch features. Higher Levels AE Mastery minute-by-minute framework.

The framework

  1. Intro + small-talk (2 minutes): Use research-backed personalized questions to build rapport. Avoid generic weather talk. Reference something specific about them or their company.

  2. Discovery (18 minutes): Uncover the six essentials:

    • Timeline: when they need to implement / decide
    • Urgency: pain severity and competitive pressure pushing them now
    • Decision maker: who actually signs off; confirm if it's your contact
    • Evaluation criteria: how they'll measure success or rank vendors
    • Budget: do they have money allocated, or is it constrained?
    • Competitive situation: who else are they evaluating?
  3. Pitch/Demo (6 minutes): Show 1–3 features directly tied to discovered pain, not a feature dump. Recap what you heard before showing anything.

  4. Close (4 minutes): Confirm next steps on the call, propose a specific date and time, send calendar invite live (no follow-up email later).

How to apply it

A mid-market SaaS company lands an inbound demo request from a VP of Sales at a logistics software firm. The rep sees the VP's LinkedIn and notes they published about hiring challenges and team turnover. Call opens:

Rep: "I noticed you posted recently about scaling your sales team. Is that something you're actively working on this quarter?"

VP: "Yeah, we're understaffed. Been hiring but it's slow."

Rep: "How many open headcount are we talking, and when do you need them filled?"

VP: "Three or four roles. Ideally by Q3, but honestly we're flexible."

That's timeline + urgency signal. The rep pivots to decision and budget:

Rep: "Who else is involved in finalizing hires on your team, your CHRO, your manager above you?"
