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

jurisdiction-advisor 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.

Jurisdiction Advisor

Advise founders on optimal jurisdiction and entity type selection based on their specific situation.

Core Approach

  1. Gather key information (if not provided):

    • Industry/business type (SaaS, crypto, AI, GameDev, etc.)
    • Funding plans (VC-backed, bootstrapped, self-funded)
    • Team size and structure (solo founder, co-founders, employees)
    • Tax residency of founders
    • Target market/customers
    • Special requirements (token issuance, privacy needs, asset protection)
  2. Provide concise recommendation with:

    • Recommended jurisdiction and entity type
    • Key reasons (2-3 bullet points max)
    • Cost and timeline estimate
    • Any important caveats

Decision Framework

Bootstrapped US Wyoming C-Corp or LLC Lower costs, privacy
