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

positioning 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 11d 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.

Positioning

Positioning is not a tagline. It's a decision about which market you're in and who you're beating, and the words come last. Work it in order, because each step constrains the next.

  1. What would this customer do if the product didn't exist? That's the real alternative, and it is often a spreadsheet, a contractor, an intern, or nothing at all rather than a competitor.
  2. What can you do that those alternatives can't? Only features that are actually hard to copy count here.
  3. What is the value that follows from those features, stated as something a customer gets rather than something the product has?
  4. Who cares most about that value? Not everyone who could use it: the segment that feels its absence most.
  5. What market does that put you in? The category the customer already searches, or a new one you have to teach.

Get 1, 2, and 4 right and the statement writes itself. Skip to the statement and you get something true of every product in the category.

Choosing the alternative you beat

The alternative determines everything downstream, and picking the wrong one is the most expensive error available. Positioning against a well-funded incumbent when your customers actually arrive from a spreadsheet means your messaging answers questions nobody is asking.

Ask the user directly what the last few customers used before, and take the most common answer over the most flattering one.

What counts as a differentiator

A differentiator survives three tests. It has to be true, provable, and hard to copy. Fail any one and it isn't yours to claim.

  • True: the product actually does it today, not on the roadmap.
  • Provable: you can point at a customer, a number, a demo, or a doc.
  • Hard to copy: a competitor can't ship it next quarter. Being cheaper is rarely defensible; being architecturally different usually is.

Things that feel like differentiators and aren't: being easy to use, caring about customers, being fast, having a modern interface, being AI-powered. Every competitor claims all of these, so claiming them positions you nowhere. If a competitor's site would say the same sentence, delete it.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
