  FOCUS-aligned FinOps definition for Biconomy's MEE + Sponsorship Paymaster
  product. Cost is composed of two distinct surfaces: the MEE fee (a
  per-supertransaction service charge denominated in the chosen feeToken) and
  reimbursed on-chain gas (paymaster spend, invoiced at cost in USD-equivalent
  monthly).
