  FinOps view of Homads. Homads is a mid-term rental marketplace, not a metered
  API product, so there is no usage-based API spend (no per-call, per-token, or
  per-request billing) to manage. The only recurring cost dimension is the
  marketplace transaction fee (reported at ~3% per payment) applied to bookings;
  listing, browsing, and messaging are free. Because no public developer API is
  offered, there are no API cost meters, invoices, or FOCUS-aligned usage records
  for programmatic consumption.
notes: >-
  Marketplace fee figures come from public summaries and may change; verify on
  homads.com during reconciliation. No public API spend exists to optimize.

principles:
- name: Visibility
  description: >-
    Track marketplace booking fees from Homads host payout statements; there is
    no API usage export because no public API is offered.
- name: Allocation
  description: >-
    Allocate transaction fees per property or booking; no API keys or per-call
    costs exist to allocate.
- name: Optimization
  description: >-
    Optimization applies to occupancy and pricing of mid-term listings, not API
    spend, since there is no metered API.
- name: Accountability
  description: >-
    Review per-property booking economics; no API budget owners are needed.
