description: >-
  FinOps view of Doctly spend. Doctly bills usage as credits consumed per page
  of document processed, with LITE and ULTRA accuracy levels drawing credits at
  different rates, plus per-page or per-document extractor charges (cost_type /
  cost_credits). Cost scales primarily with pages processed and chosen accuracy
  level. Exact credit-to-dollar conversion is not publicly itemized and is not
  reconciled here.
notes: >-
  Per-page credit rates and the dollar value of a credit are not published in
  machine-readable form; verify against doctly.ai/pricing on reconciliation.

principles:
- name: Visibility
  description: Track pages processed by accuracy level and extractor; reconcile against credit balance burn.
- name: Allocation
  description: Use separate API keys or extractors per workload/team to attribute credit spend to cost centers.
- name: Optimization
  description: >-
    Default to LITE accuracy and only escalate to ULTRA for documents that
    require it; use skip_images and page_range-style options to avoid
    processing unnecessary content; right-size extractors (PER_PAGE vs
    PER_DOCUMENT) to the workload.
