# Corrected 2026-09-06 by the enrichment pipeline. The values below were scaffold defaults
# (Usage-Based / Monthly / USD) that DSG's own site contradicts: pricing is sales-quoted, the
# unit of sale is entitlement (which sports and competitions an account may call) rather than
# request volume, and the company is a German GmbH. Nothing about DSG's billing is published,
# so the fields are now null with the absence recorded. See
# plans/dsg-sports-analytics-plans-pricing.yml.

  of competitions you require, and your choice of data pack. To get detailed pricing information

  frequency, currency or metered unit is public. The meters and FOCUS column mappings below are an
