description: >-
  FOCUS-aligned FinOps profile for Azure AI Document Intelligence. Costs are
  Azure-billed per-page consumption against tier-specific rates (Read,
  Prebuilt, Custom Classification, Custom Extraction, Add-Ons, Query Fields)
  plus optional commitment tiers. Standard Azure cost-management plumbing
  applies — resource group / subscription / tag-based allocation through
  Azure Cost Management + Microsoft Cost Management exports (FOCUS-native).
notes: >-
  Azure publishes a FOCUS-conformant cost export, so allocation by
  ResourceTag is straightforward. Add-ons and Query Fields are billed on top
  of the base prebuilt/custom rates and easy to overlook.
