description: >-
  FOCUS-aligned FinOps for Analog Devices. ADI's developer software (libiio,
  pyadi-iio, no-OS, CodeFusion Studio) is free open-source; spend on ADI flows
  as bill-of-material direct cost for silicon and evaluation hardware,
  invoiced via distributors or direct sales, not as API consumption.
notes: >-
  No SaaS metered API. The "billing model" reflects hardware procurement, not
  API metering.

      Track ADI spend through ERP / procurement systems and distributor
      portals; SDK adoption can be tracked through GitHub release downloads
      and EngineerZone forum activity.
  - name: Allocation
    description: >-
      Allocate ADI silicon costs to BOMs and product lines; SDK use carries no
      direct cost so no allocation tag is needed.
  - name: Optimization
    description: >-
      Optimization levers are part consolidation across BOMs, multi-source
      qualification, and volume agreements with ADI / distributors. SDK use is
      free.

    description: >-
      Procurement and hardware engineering own the cost; software / firmware
      teams own the open-source SDK consumption (no chargeback).
