  FOCUS-aligned FinOps profile for the Fortnite Tracker API: a single free,
  key-gated developer surface with no commercial billing surface. Cost
  attribution is purely about rate-limit headroom rather than dollar spend.

principles:
  - name: Visibility
    description: >-
      Fortnite Tracker exposes no usage API or dashboard. Consumers must
      self-instrument: log every TRN-Api-Key request, response code, and
      latency client-side to understand consumption.
  - name: Allocation
    description: >-
      Allocate consumption per-team or per-product by minting one TRN-Api-Key
      per logical workload from fortnitetracker.com/site-api/create rather
      than sharing keys. Tag client-side metrics with the workload name.
  - name: Optimization
    description: >-
      Cache profile, leaderboard, and store responses aggressively (most data
      changes on minute-to-hour cadence, not per-request). Coalesce
      duplicate lookups, and respect the 1-request-per-2-second per-key cap.
      Don't poll the store more often than the daily rotation window.
  - name: Accountability
    description: >-
      Owner of the TRN-Api-Key is responsible for the workload's behavior.
      Tracker Network reserves the right to revoke abusive keys, so the same
      owner should monitor 429 rates and stay within the documented limit.
