description: >-
  FinOps view of Incode Omni spend. Incode pricing is sales-led and not
  publicly published; cost is typically driven by the number of onboarding
  sessions / verifications and which modules each session executes (ID
  verification, face match and liveness, government validation, watchlist/AML).
  The meters below model the natural cost drivers of the platform; per-unit
  rates must be obtained from Incode and are not reconciled in this artifact.
notes: >-
  Per-verification and per-module rates are not public; reconcile against an
  Incode contract or quote.
