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-case-builder 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.

Business Case Builder

Overview

Develop compelling business cases that justify investments, align stakeholders, and enable informed go/no-go decisions. Comprehensive business cases combine financial analysis, risk assessment, and strategic alignment to make the case for action.

Core Components

1. Executive Summary

  • Investment Required: Total cost in dollars and timeline
  • Expected Benefit: Quantified returns (revenue, cost savings, efficiency)
  • ROI: Payback period, IRR, NPV
  • Strategic Alignment: How this supports company goals
  • Recommendation: Proceed / Proceed with conditions / Do not proceed

2. Problem Statement

  • Current State: What's broken or missing today
  • Impact: Business cost of status quo (missed revenue, inefficiency, risk)
  • Why Now: Urgency drivers and market windows
  • Success Criteria: How we'll measure improvement

Example:

Problem: Manual invoice processing takes 40 hours/week, error rate 3%,
60-day payment cycle
Impact: $180K annual cost in labor + 2% revenue impact from late payments
Why Now: Volume growing 25% YoY; competitors process faster
Success: Automate 80% of invoices, reduce cycle to 10 days, <0.5% errors

3. Solution Overview

  • Proposed Approach: High-level solution design
  • Key Features: Core capabilities and benefits
  • Differentiation: Why this solution over alternatives
  • Implementation Path: Phased rollout or big-bang

4. Financial Analysis

Cost Structure:

Category | Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | Total

Support/Maintenance | $30K | $35K | $40K | $105K

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.
