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

growth-customer-discovery 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 110 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Growth: Customer Discovery

Owns truthful learning and audience-building. Hub: growth-foundations (worldview, shared vocabulary, router). Does not redefine hub terms.

Stance. Talk about their life, not your idea. Opinions, compliments, and hypotheticals are bad data and must be excluded — not softened. Find your audience before/while building; "build it and they will come" is a predicted failure (hub Guardrail), not a strategy.

Question hygiene (the core filter)

Good data is specifics about the past and actual behavior. Bad data is generics, opinions, and hypotheticals about the future. Apply on every question:

Bad (exclude/rewrite) Good (seek)
"Would you use…?" / "Do you think…?" "Walk me through the last time you…"
"Do you like this idea?" "What have you tried to solve it? What did it cost you?"
"Would you pay for X?" "What do you pay for today to deal with this?"
Any compliment received A commitment of time/reputation/money

Default move: convert every hypothetical/opinion question into a past-behavior question before the conversation.

Commitment & advancement (did you actually learn anything?)

A conversation only counts as validation if the person spends a currency and advances:

  • Currencies: time (a real next meeting/work), reputation (an intro, a public endorsement), money (pre-order, deposit, paid pilot).
  • Advancement: they move to a concrete next step. Compliments and "keep me posted" are zero-commitment → no signal.

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.
