description: FOCUS-aligned FinOps scaffold for Addus HomeCare. Addus is a clinical services company;
  there is no commercial API line item to allocate. FinOps relevance is internal — to Addus's own IT,
  EVV, scheduling, and clearinghouse spend rather than an external billable surface.

notes: No commercial API invoice exists. Reconciled flag is false because there is no provider invoice
  to map to FOCUS columns.

principles:
  - name: Visibility
    description: There is no Addus API invoice. Visibility applies to internal IT spend on EVV (Electronic
      Visit Verification), scheduling, payer EDI, and clearinghouse fees that support clinical operations.
  - name: Allocation
    description: Allocate IT and integration cost to branch / region and service line (personal care,
      hospice, home health) rather than to API call volume.
  - name: Optimization
    description: Optimization is operational — caregiver utilization, EVV compliance, payer-mix, and
      consolidation of integration vendors — not API-level optimization.
  - name: Accountability
    description: Branch and regional operations leadership own field-cost lines; the corporate revenue-cycle
      and IT teams own the integration and clearinghouse cost lines. There is no external API consumer
      accountable for spend.
