description: >-
  FinOps view of Ledgy spend. Ledgy is a sales-led SaaS subscription, billed
  annually per company stage and stakeholder count rather than per API call.
  The GraphQL API is included with the subscription and is not separately
  metered or billed, so there are no usage-based cost meters to allocate at the
  API level. Cost management is primarily contract / seat / stakeholder
  management against the negotiated subscription.
notes: >-
  No public usage-based API pricing exists; subscription amounts are negotiated
  with Ledgy sales. Treat the billing model below as subscription/flat and
  verify the contracted figure during reconciliation.

    Track the negotiated annual subscription and the stakeholder count that
    drives the tier; the GraphQL API itself carries no incremental usage charge.

  description: Map the Ledgy subscription to the finance / legal / people cost center that owns equity.
- name: Optimization
  description: >-
    Right-size the plan to actual stakeholder count at renewal; avoid
    over-provisioning enterprise add-ons (SSO, custom integrations) that are
    not used.
