description: Alation prices the Data Intelligence Platform via custom enterprise quotes - the public pricing
  page is "Request Pricing" only. Commercial terms are bundled by edition (Alation Cloud Service tiers
  and on-prem options), seat counts (steward / curator / consumer), and deployment scope. API access is
  included with the Alation tenant and is not separately metered on the public pricing page.

notes: No public price list. Plans below are placeholder enterprise shells; replace with the negotiated
  edition + seat schedule once contracted.
