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

position-lock 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.

Position Lock (PRISM Framework)

Engineer a positioning architecture that is structurally defensible and cascades consistently from brand level down to feature level.

When to Use

  • New product positioning
  • Repositioning after market shift
  • Messaging overhaul
  • Pre-launch messaging lock
  • Category creation strategy

What You'll Need

Critical inputs (ask if not provided):

  • Product/company to position
  • Target audience (primary persona)
  • Top 2-3 competitors

Nice-to-have:

  • Battle Scanner output (competitive positioning)
  • Whitespace Finder output (opportunities to position around)
  • Journey Architect output (persona needs at each stage)

Process

Step 1: Build the 4-Layer Positioning Stack

Layer 1: Category Design Decide your category strategy:

Strategy When to Use Risk Level
Create new category You are truly different, market is ready High effort, highest leverage
Redefine existing category Existing category is stale, you have a fresh angle Medium effort
Compete within category Category is well-understood, you have clear advantages Lowest effort

Layer 2: Strategic Narrative The "big idea" connecting your product to a larger market shift:

  • NOT a feature story -- a worldview story
  • Format: "The world is changing from [old way] to [new way]. [Product] is built for the new world."
  • Must feel inevitable and bigger than your product

Layer 3: Value Proposition Matrix

Value Type Question It Answers Example
Functional What does it DO? "Automates X, reducing time by 80%"
Emotional How does it make them FEEL? "Confidence that nothing falls through cracks"
Social How does it make them LOOK? "Seen as innovative by leadership"
Economic What does it SAVE/EARN? "Saves $50K/year per team"

Layer 4: Proof Architecture Map evidence to every value claim:

  • Metrics and data points
  • Customer case studies
  • Third-party validation (analyst quotes, awards)
  • Product demonstrations

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.
