description: >-
  FinOps view of Evisort spend. Evisort (now Workday Contract Lifecycle
  Management, powered by Evisort) is a sales-led enterprise subscription with no
  public, usage-metered, per-call pricing. Cost is governed by an annual
  enterprise agreement scoped to contract volume, users, modules, and
  integrations rather than by API call volume. The meters below are indicative
  cost-allocation dimensions, not published billable units, and are not
  reconciled against an invoice.
notes: >-
  Because Evisort billing is contract/subscription-based rather than
  pay-as-you-go, there is no public per-request rate to model. Reconcile against
  an actual Workday / Evisort order form and invoice if one becomes available.
