description: 'FOCUS-aligned FinOps for HashiCorp: pay-as-you-go per-managed-resource billing on
  HCP Terraform (Essentials $0.10, Standard $0.47, Premium $0.99 per resource per month) plus
  custom-priced Enterprise (self-managed) and EU residency editions. Other product lines (Vault,
  Consul, Nomad, Boundary, Packer, Waypoint) bill per HCP product or via Enterprise license.'

principles:
  - name: Visibility
    description: Use HCP Terraform's billing dashboard and the workspaces/managed-resources counts;
      tag workspaces by team / environment so consumption maps onto invoice lines.
  - name: Allocation
    description: Allocate HCP Terraform spend by Workspace and Project; map managed-resource counts
      back to consuming application teams via workspace tags.
  - name: Optimization
    description: Reduce managed-resource counts via state pruning, module consolidation, and
      ephemeral workspaces; choose the lowest tier (Essentials / Standard / Premium) that meets
      governance needs; redeem the $500 new-customer credit.
  - name: Accountability
    description: Assign a HashiCorp account owner; review Terraform managed-resource growth monthly
      against the Enterprise commitment or PAYG run-rate.
