business-model

business-model is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vmobifystudio/app-dev-team. It costs 71 tokens per session (607 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for deciding how a product will make money, including its pricing model, tiers, trials, advertising, and costs. It records the arithmetic behind the decision and where each number came from.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps choose between subscriptions, one-time payments, usage credits, and advertising, then evaluate price and serving costs.
Why use it?
Pricing decisions can become vague opinions when costs and assumptions are hidden. Writing down the numbers makes the trade-offs testable.

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

business-model 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Business model

The output of this skill is a decision with its arithmetic written down, not a strategy essay. The arithmetic is what makes it possible to be wrong on purpose and notice later.

Pick the model before the price

Model Fits when The thing that kills it
Paid up front the value is obvious before use no trial means no conversion signal at all
Freemium → subscription value compounds with use the free tier is either useless or sufficient
Consumable / credits usage is bursty and costs you per unit users cannot predict their spend and stop
Ads reach is large and session length is real ad load destroys the experience that earned the reach
Ads + removal IAP both of the above the paid tier competes with your own ad revenue

The studio's defaults and hard rules live in knowledge/monetization.md (house-conventions) — NO-AD zones, consent, frequency caps. Those are not negotiable by a pricing decision.

The arithmetic, written out

State each number, and say where it came from — measured, comparable, or assumed:

Price point               <value> in <currency/tier>
Cost to serve one user    <infra + per-unit + store commission>
Conversion assumption     <%>  (source: measured | comparable | ASSUMED)
Retention assumption      <month-1 / month-12>  (source: ...)
Revenue per install       price × conversion × expected periods
Break-even installs       fixed cost ÷ revenue per install

Every ASSUMED is a hypothesis with a falsifying test, handed to data-analyst to instrument (growth-analysis). An assumption that is never instrumented is a number that will be quoted for years as if it were measured — the most expensive artifact this skill can produce.

The trial and the paywall

Decide and record: what is free forever, what the trial includes, its length, whether a card is required, what happens at expiry to data created during the trial (it must not disappear), and where the paywall appears in docs/12-flows.md. A paywall not in the flow doc is a paywall QA never tests.

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.

business-model is a skill published in the GitHub repository vmobifystudio/app-dev-team (4 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 607 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
