  - name: Visibility
    description: Track per-token call usage against the 100,000/day and 1,000/min ceilings via the EODHD
      account dashboard; export billing receipts monthly.
  - name: Allocation
    description: Issue a separate API token per consuming application or team so daily call usage is
      attributable.
  - name: Optimization
    description: Use the bulk historical-series endpoint (one call covers a full ticker history) to minimize
      call count; cache static fundamentals locally; choose annual billing for ~17% discount.
  - name: Accountability
    description: A single account owner pays the subscription; usage and renewal cadence should be reviewed
      against ticker coverage actually consumed.
