description: 'FOCUS-aligned FinOps placeholder for Ionis Pharmaceuticals: an RNA-focused biotech with
  no public API or rate card. FinOps applies primarily to internal cloud and validated-system spend
  rather than a public API surface.'

  integration surface; cannot be reconciled without a customer contract.
