description: >-
  FOCUS-aligned FinOps placeholder for AMETEK. AMETEK is a hardware-led
  portfolio with no public API metered billing surface; spend is captured as
  capital equipment, calibration services, and software maintenance contracts
  rather than per-request charges.
notes: >-
  No public API billing surface. Costs flow as hardware CapEx and software
  maintenance.

principles:
  - name: Visibility
    description: >-
      Visibility into AMETEK spend is via ERP / asset registers (instrument
      serial numbers, calibration cycles), not API usage telemetry.
  - name: Allocation
    description: >-
      Allocate AMETEK costs to the lab, manufacturing line, or business unit
      that owns the underlying instrument.
  - name: Optimization
    description: >-
      Optimize via instrument utilization, calibration scheduling, and
      multi-year service contracts; not via request-level rate tuning.
  - name: Accountability
    description: >-
      Budget ownership sits with engineering, R&D, and operations, not the
      developer / FinOps API team.
