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

fee-increase-playbook 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 2mo 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.

Fee Increase Playbook

When to use

You're raising fees with existing clients (managed transition) or you're pricing new prospects and want to anchor high without friction. The dynamics are different: new prospects have no historical reference point (go high from the start), while existing clients expect continuity (frame the increase as value expansion, not margin grab). Use this playbook for both.

The framework

FOR NEW PROSPECTS (No friction)

  1. Anchor high from the start: Never quote a low rate hoping to raise it later. If you're worth $25K, quote $25K on day one. Early anchoring sets the ceiling for all future conversations.
  2. Tie fees explicitly to outcomes: "We charge $25K because clients typically see $200K in value. Your ROI is 8:1."
  3. Offer tiers, not discounts: Let them self-select Good/Better/Best. If they balk at the premium tier, offer the middle tier, not a discount on your base.
  4. Don't negotiate fees: If asked "Can you do it for less?" answer: "I could reduce scope or timeline, but not the hourly rate. What matters most to your success?" Redirect to value and fit, not price.

FOR EXISTING CLIENTS (Managed transition)

  1. Schedule a formal increase conversation: Don't announce it in a status email. Book a call with the champion and CFO to discuss the change and the reasoning.
  2. Frame as value expansion, not margin grab: "As we've deepened the engagement and proven results, I'm raising my retainer from $5K to $6K/month. This reflects the additional leverage you're seeing and the time I'm now spending on strategic initiatives vs. implementation."
  3. Anchor the increase to value delivered: "You told me this project saved you $500K annually. The 20% increase reflects your confidence in those results and our relationship depth."
  4. Offer new value or expanded scope: "The increase includes quarterly strategy sessions and direct access to me, not just monthly check-ins." Give them something tangible in return.
  5. Provide a transition path: "The new rate is effective for your next renewal (Q3). Your current retainer stays at $5K through the end of Q2." This softens the transition.
  6. Be willing to walk: If they refuse and insist on the old rate, you can exit the relationship or offer a one-time 90-day freeze while they adjust budgets. Don't be a hostage to a below-market rate.

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.
