description: Fumadocs has no commercial billing surface — it is a free, open-source npm package.
  The only FinOps-relevant cost is the underlying hosting/CDN of the consumer's documentation
  site, which is governed by the host's pricing rather than Fumadocs.

principles:
  - name: Visibility
    description: Costs of running a Fumadocs site come from the underlying host (Vercel, Netlify,
      Cloudflare Pages, etc.); track those provider bills rather than Fumadocs.
  - name: Allocation
    description: Allocate documentation-site hosting cost to the product or team that owns the
      docs.
  - name: Optimization
    description: Use static export and CDN caching; pre-build search indexes; avoid dynamic
      runtime where the static path suffices.
  - name: Accountability
    description: DevRel / docs owner is accountable for documentation hosting cost; no Fumadocs
      invoice exists.
