  FOCUS-aligned FinOps definition for Beatoven.ai. Two distinct billing
  surfaces - a user-seat subscription billing for the web product
  (Creator, Visionary) plus credit-metered downloadable minutes
  (Pay-as-You-Go), and a contract-priced enterprise billing for the
  public Composition API.

recommendations:
  - For high-volume content pipelines, contact hello@beatoven.ai to negotiate API contract pricing rather than scaling Pay-as-You-Go.
  - Track downloaded minutes by format (mp3/aac/wav) to allocate cost to downstream content properties.
  - Annual billing on Creator and Visionary saves ~17% versus monthly (2 free months).
