description: >-
  FOCUS-aligned FinOps profile for FanDuel. There is no API spend to manage. From a partner
  perspective, FanDuel is either an affiliate revenue source (income, not cost) or a brand
  sponsorship/marketing line (expense). Treat this as a non-API FinOps record for catalog
  completeness.
notes: No API spend; only affiliate revenue or marketing/sponsorship expense.
