description: >-
  Deloitte has no public developer API and no metered billing surface.
  Costs flow through audit, tax, legal, consulting, or managed-services
  engagement contracts and appear on client books as professional-services
  spend, not as a metered API invoice. Deloitte itself runs FinOps and
  cloud financial-management practices for clients on hyperscaler spend,
  but does not consume FinOps for its own corporate offerings.
notes: >-
  No public developer API — placeholder only. Deloitte's FinOps practice
  is an advisory offering, not a billed Deloitte API product.

      Master engagement contract — not a metered unit; costs flow through
      time-and-materials, fixed-fee, or managed-services-subscription
      invoicing from the relevant Deloitte member firm.

    description: >-
      Track Deloitte cost as professional-services spend on the client
      GL, not as a metered API line.
  - name: Allocation
    description: >-
      Allocate engagement cost to the sponsoring business unit;
      pass-through hyperscaler costs incurred during a Deloitte
      managed-services arrangement should be allocated through the
      underlying cloud bill rather than the Deloitte invoice.
  - name: Optimization
    description: >-
      Optimize by aligning engagement scope with the FinOps practices
      Deloitte itself promotes to clients for hyperscaler workloads,
      ensuring scope-creep does not erode engagement value.
  - name: Accountability
    description: >-
      Engagement sponsor on the client side and the Deloitte engagement
      partner share accountability for cost and value delivered.
