  API; access is governed by the partner agreement rather than per-call billing. FinOps applies to internal
  attribution of partner-API consumption and to commercial counterparty spend, not to a metered API
  bill.'
notes: Constellation Brands does not publish per-call API pricing. This artifact tracks internal-only
  meters useful for chargeback within consuming organizations.
