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

channel-discovery 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 13d 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.

Channel Discovery

Usage

Use when deciding where to spend marketing dollars and time. Ideal after defining your target market but before committing to specific tactics. Also useful when a current channel is underperforming and you need alternatives.

Process

Step 1: Gather Inputs

Ask the user for:

  1. Target market definition — who they're targeting ({Identity} + {Industry} + {Business type & stage}). Example: "B2B SaaS CTOs at seed-stage startups"
  2. Product context — what they sell, pricing, current stage
  3. Constraints — budget (monthly), team size, timeline, skills available
  4. Current channels — what they've already tried and results

Step 2: Understand the Target Market

Parse the target market definition. Identify:

  • Who they are: Role, seniority, industry
  • How they buy: Self-serve vs. sales-led, individual vs. committee, impulse vs. considered
  • Deal size signal: Low-touch (< $50/mo) vs. mid-touch ($50-500/mo) vs. high-touch ($500+/mo)
  • Digital behaviour: Where do professionals in this role/industry spend time online?

Step 2b: Run the 12 Customer Channel Questions

Before mapping channels, get inside the customer's head. Run through these 12 questions for the target market. Answer them based on research and web searches — not assumptions.

  1. Search — Do they use search engines? What are they searching for? What keywords or phrases?
  2. Websites — What websites and blogs do they visit?
  3. Communities — Which communities and groups do they hang out in (Reddit, Slack, Discord, industry forums)?
  4. Video — What videos do they watch? Who do they subscribe to on YouTube?
  5. Social — What social media platforms do they use? Which influencers do they follow?
  6. Email — What email newsletters do they subscribe to?
  7. Podcasts — What podcasts do they listen to?
  8. Professional network — Do they have a work email address? Are they active on LinkedIn?
  9. Credentials — Do they have specific job qualifications, certifications, or training? Are they part of professional membership bodies or associations?
  10. Events — Do they attend trade shows, conferences, or industry meetups?
  11. Publications — Do they read trade publications or industry news sites?
  12. Books and thought leaders — What books do they read? Who are the thought leaders they follow?
