description: >-
  FinOps view of Health Gorilla spend. Health Gorilla is sales-led and does
  not publish public per-unit pricing, so cost drivers are modeled
  qualitatively: record retrievals across the national exchange network,
  diagnostic (lab/radiology) orders and results, clinical document exchange,
  and event-driven subscription notifications. Actual rates are contract-based
  and not reconciled in this artifact.
notes: >-
  Per-unit rates are contract-specific; obtain a usage/billing breakdown from
  Health Gorilla and reconcile cost drivers (retrievals, orders, documents,
  notifications) against the agreement during reconciliation.
