description: 'FinOps view of EPAM Systems: invoicing is contract-driven (T&M, fixed-fee, or managed-service
  retainers) rather than usage-metered. The FOCUS shape is closer to professional-services billing than
  to a metered API.'

notes: No public pricing or metered billing. FinOps controls focus on engagement-level budget tracking
  rather than per-API consumption.
