sovereign-economics-engine

sovereign-economics-engine is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from winstonkoh87/Athena-Public. It costs 43 tokens per session (2,717 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A framework for judging business models, clients, prices, marketing channels, and service ideas. It focuses on whether a business controls important choices such as pricing, customer access, and the ability to leave a deal.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when choosing clients or niches, setting prices, planning customer acquisition, evaluating services, designing distribution, or deciding whether to accept a project.

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

sovereign-economics-engine 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 13d 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.

Sovereign Economics Engine — Business Model × Distribution × Pricing

Compiled: 2026-05-11 (retroactive synthesis of 54+ protocols) Problem Class: All business/freelance/service decisions — client selection, pricing, distribution channel choice, content strategy, niche validation, and platform sovereignty. Axiom: "Own the arena, own the lever, own the exit — everything else is rent."

When to Use

Invoke whenever the user mentions:

  • Client acquisition, pricing, or toxic client dynamics
  • Business model evaluation or niche selection
  • Distribution strategy (SEO, ads, content, Carousell, social)
  • Portfolio/website design for lead generation
  • Service productization or agency operations
  • "Should I take this client/project/gig?"

Solution Architecture

Module 1: The Sovereignty Gate (MP-1 + MP-13)

Before evaluating ANY business opportunity:

              YOU OWN THE ARENA    YOU RENT THE ARENA
YOU SET PRICE:    Sovereign            Fragile
THEY SET PRICE:   Regulated            Subordinate

5-Gate Pre-Flight (BUS-567):

  1. ☐ Can I set my own price? (Price Ceiling Vise check)
  2. ☐ Can I leave in <30 days? (Kill Switch check)
  3. ☐ Do I own the client relationship? (Platform bypass check)
  4. ☐ Is my COGS fixed, not rising? (Cost floor check)
  5. ☐ Does this compound? (Hand-Stop-Mouth-Stop test)

If ≥2 gates FAIL → you are sharecropping. Exit or renegotiate.

Module 2: The Client Filter (BUS-255 + P120)

The Velvet Rope: Not all revenue is good revenue.

Client Signal Classification Action
Pays deposit upfront, respects scope ✅ Tier 1 Full service
Asks good questions, budget-conscious ✅ Tier 2 Standard package
Wants free work before commitment ⚠️ Extraction Risk $100 Filter (deposit)
Scope creep, late payments, emotional demands ❌ Toxic Power Inversion or EXIT
"Can you do it cheaper?" ❌ Price Ceiling Dignity Premium or WALK

The Power Inversion Protocol (P120):

  1. Calculate the EXACT friction cost of the client (time × your hourly × frustration multiplier)
  2. Present the "Dignity Premium" rate: Structural Value = max(Cost × 1.5, Value to Buyer × 0.3)
  3. If rejected → self-terminate the contract. The "Walk" is the highest-leverage move.

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.
