  FOCUS-aligned FinOps profile for Hanko cloud authentication services.
  Hanko billing is primarily MAU-based (monthly active users), with a free
  tier of 10,000 MAUs and $0.01/MAU overage on the Pro plan. Optional add-ons
  such as SAML SSO connections are billed at a flat monthly rate per connection.

      Track Hanko MAU consumption monthly against plan thresholds to avoid
      unexpected overage charges on the Pro plan.
  - name: Optimization
    description: >-

    description: >-
      Allocate Hanko costs by project (up to 5 on Pro) to attribute
