description: A. Schulman / LyondellBasell APS integrations settle through commercial customer/distributor
  agreements, not a metered API invoice. FinOps mapping is structural only.
notes: No public developer pricing — placeholder only. Costs flow through goods/services pricing, not
  a metered API line item.
