    description: Use the JFrog Platform Admin console (Reports → Storage Summary, Usage by Repository)
      and the System REST API (api/storageinfo, api/repositories/{key}/usage) to surface monthly storage
      consumption and projected overage before invoice close.
  - name: Allocation
    description: Tag spend by repository and project using Artifactory's repository-level metadata
      and properties; map repositories to cost centers in the consuming team's CMDB or via JFrog
      labels.
  - name: Optimization
    description: Reduce storage overage through repository cleanup policies (max-unique-snapshots,
      retention rules), generic-repo deduplication, and binary cleanup with JFrog's automated cleanup
      features (Enterprise X+). Use Tiered Storage to push cold artifacts to cheaper backends.
  - name: Accountability
    description: Assign repository ownership and surface monthly storage charts to repo owners; use
      JFrog Insight or exported CSV reports to feed showback. Trigger alerts when projected storage
      crosses 80% of the included plan base.
