  FOCUS-aligned FinOps definition for Adapt's Prospect API. Credit-based metering
  across four lanes — email, phone, enrichment, and search — drawn against plan
  allotments with overage handled by plan upgrade rather than usage-based overage.

  recommendedPractices:
    - Tag downstream API calls with a campaign or team identifier to enable showback.
    - Cap searches with cursorMark page sizes to avoid silent credit burn.
    - Pull credit-remaining response headers into a usage warehouse on every call.
    - Reconcile monthly invoice against credit-burn telemetry to validate Adapt billing.
