description: 'FOCUS-aligned FinOps for Labcorp connectivity: integrations are bundled inside the broader
  laboratory-services or biopharma master agreement, so there is no per-API line item to FOCUS-map. FinOps
  signal at the integration layer therefore comes from message and transaction volume that the consumer
  measures internally and reconciles against laboratory-services invoices.'

notes: No public unit pricing for the API surface itself; cost is bundled in the laboratory-services
  agreement.
