  FOCUS-aligned FinOps profile for Builder.io. Billing is seat-based (per user
  per month) with a consumption layer of AI Agent Credits that governs AI-
  powered features including code and content generation. Costs scale with
  headcount and AI feature usage. Enterprise customers negotiate custom credit
  allocations and seat pricing.

principles:
  - name: Visibility
    description: >-
      Track monthly seat count and Agent Credit consumption per space to
      understand cost drivers. Monitor actual vs. allocated credits to detect
      underuse or overuse early.
  - name: Optimization
    description: >-
      Right-size seat count; remove inactive users to reduce per-seat charges.
      Leverage credit rollover buffer before purchasing pay-as-you-go top-ups.
      Use CDN-friendly query patterns (low-cardinality userAttributes) to reduce
      origin API load and avoid throttling at scale.
  - name: Accountability
    description: >-
      Assign Builder.io spaces to cost centers by team or product area. Use
      enterprise RBAC to enforce budget ownership. Review AI Credit usage by
      team to charge back or allocate fairly.
