description: >-
  FOCUS-aligned FinOps view for Foodspark, a custom-quoted managed food / grocery
  / restaurant data-extraction service. Spend is project-based and
  contract-negotiated (not self-serve usage-metered), so cost shows up as
  recurring data-service charges scoped by target platforms, data volume, and
  refresh cadence.

principles:
  - name: Visibility
    description: >-
      Foodspark exposes no self-serve usage dashboard or billing API. Track spend
      from the negotiated contract and Foodspark invoices; reconcile delivered
      data volume against the agreed project scope.
  - name: Allocation
    description: >-
      Attribute the data-service contract to the consuming team, product, and
      data domain (menus, pricing, delivery) since billing is project-scoped
      rather than per-call.
  - name: Optimization
    description: >-
      Control cost by narrowing the target platform list, reducing extracted
      field/record scope, and lowering refresh cadence to the minimum the use
      case needs, since each materially affects the quote.
  - name: Accountability
    description: >-
      Assign a contract owner to review scope versus delivered data each billing
      period and to renegotiate platform coverage and refresh rate as needs change.
