notes: >-
  Adobe Analytics is contact-sales enterprise SaaS; line-item amounts are
  contract-specific. FinOps levers focus on server-call commit management,
  Workspace seat allocation, and unused-SKU consolidation rather than
  on-demand metering.
description: >-
  FOCUS-aligned FinOps shape for Adobe Analytics: enterprise contract
  licensing keyed to annual server-call commit, Workspace seats, and feature
  bundle (Select / Prime / Ultimate). API access is included.
