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

buyer-list 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 11d 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 — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Buyer List

description: Build and organize a universe of potential acquirers for sell-side M&A processes. Identifies strategic and financial buyers, assesses fit, and prioritizes outreach. Use when preparing for a sell-side mandate, building a buyer universe, or evaluating potential partners. Triggers on "buyer list", "buyer universe", "potential acquirers", "who would buy this", "strategic buyers", or "financial sponsors".

Workflow

Step 1: Understand the Target

  • Company description, sector, and business model
  • Revenue, EBITDA, and growth profile
  • Key assets and capabilities (IP, customer relationships, geographic footprint, team)
  • Expected valuation range
  • Seller preferences (strategic vs. financial, management continuity, timeline)

Step 2: Strategic Buyers

Identify strategic acquirers across categories:

Direct Competitors

  • Companies in the same space that would gain market share
  • Rationale: Revenue synergies, eliminate competitor, scale

Adjacent Players

  • Companies in adjacent markets that could expand into the target's space
  • Rationale: Product extension, cross-sell, new market entry

Vertical Integrators

  • Customers or suppliers that could integrate vertically
  • Rationale: Supply chain control, margin capture, strategic lock-in

Platform Builders

  • Large companies building a platform in the space through M&A
  • Rationale: Tuck-in acquisition, fill capability gap

For each strategic buyer, assess:

Buyer Sector Revenue Strategic Fit Financial Capacity M&A Track Record Likelihood Priority
High/Med/Low Active/Moderate/None A/B/C

Step 3: Financial Sponsors

Identify PE/financial buyers:

Platform Investors

  • Sponsors looking for a new platform in this sector
  • Criteria: Fund size, sector focus, deal size range

Add-on Buyers

  • Sponsors with existing portfolio companies that could acquire the target as a bolt-on
  • Identify the specific portfolio company and synergy rationale
