description: AAR's API surface is delivered as part of MRO services contracts and software product licenses
  (Trax, Aerostrat, Airinmar). There is no metered API invoice. FinOps mapping is structural only.
notes: No public developer pricing — placeholder only. Costs flow through MRO service contracts and software
  licenses, not a metered API line item.
