description: 'FOCUS-aligned FinOps scaffold for Catalent. Catalent invoices are project / MSA-driven CDMO
  service fees rather than per-API-call charges; meters track integration usage but the dominant cost
  line is the underlying contract.'
notes: Cost surface is contract-driven, not API-priced. Meters reflect integration telemetry useful for
  partner monitoring, not invoice line items.

principles:

    description: Track Catalent project spend through the MSA-defined reporting; integration call counts
      provide a secondary signal of system load, not cost.
  - name: Allocation
    description: Allocate Catalent fees to the originating drug program / project; tag integration calls
      with the program identifier.
  - name: Optimization
    description: Use scope changes, milestone restructuring, and supplier consolidation rather than per-call
      tuning to reduce CDMO spend.
  - name: Accountability
    description: A program / supply-chain owner reconciles Catalent invoices against the MSA; IT owns
      the integration uptime SLA.
