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

contract-negotiation 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.

Contract Negotiation

Overview

Master contract negotiation by preparing thoroughly, understanding your leverage, and negotiating smart trades. Effective negotiation balances aggressive pursuit of favorable terms with relationship-building for long-term partnerships.

Pre-Negotiation Preparation

1. BATNA Development (Best Alternative to Negotiated Agreement)

Your BATNA is your walkaway position; without it, you're negotiating blind.

Example BATNA for Vendor Negotiation:

BATNA Elements:
1. Vendor B is willing to do $95K/year (proven alternative)
2. Build in-house is feasible for core functionality ($250K project)
3. Alternative vendor C can go live in 16 weeks if needed

BATNA Value: $95K/year (Vendor B cost)
RESERVATION PRICE: $110K/year (our maximum walk-away price)
TARGET: $90K/year (our ideal outcome)

If vendor won't budge below $115K/year, we invoke BATNA: Go with Vendor B

Weak BATNA (no real alternative): Vendor has all leverage Strong BATNA (multiple options): You have leverage

Developing BATNA:

  • Identify all viable alternatives (other vendors, make vs. buy, status quo)
  • Realistically assess effort/cost of each alternative
  • Your BATNA becomes your confidence baseline

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.
