description: >-
  FinOps view of AU10TIX spend. AU10TIX bills under sales-led enterprise
  contracts, typically on a per-verification (per-transaction) basis with volume
  commitments, priced by product mix (document authentication, identity
  verification, face comparison / liveness, AML & sanctions screening, serial
  fraud monitoring, business verification), region, and term. List prices and
  per-check rates are not published publicly and are therefore not reconciled.
notes: >-
  No public pricing exists; obtain per-transaction rates and commitments from
  AU10TIX sales. Track verification volume per product and per workflow to
  allocate spend during reconciliation.

    Right-size the product mix per use case (e.g. document-only vs. document +
