  FinOps Framework / FOCUS-aligned view of Itron's billing surface as inferrable
  from public material. Itron is a utility-industry enterprise vendor: nearly all
  revenue is invoiced through multi-year utility contracts rather than metered
  developer APIs, so the FinOps surface is dominated by capability/CapEx-style
  line items (devices, network infrastructure, software licenses, professional
  services) plus a growing recurring-software-and-services line (Itron Total
  Outcomes / Itron Cloud Solutions) reported in quarterly earnings. There is no
  public usage-based pricing for Itron APIs.
