description: >-
  FinOps view of Matillion Data Productivity Cloud spend. Matillion bills a
  credit-based, consumption model: pipeline orchestration and transformation
  runs, data movement, and AI-assisted features draw credits from a plan
  allotment, with per-credit overage above the included bundle. Legacy
  Matillion ETL was billed as marketplace instance-hours (AWS / Azure / GCP) or
  annual license. Note that Matillion credits are separate from — and additive
  to — the compute cost of the underlying cloud data warehouse (Snowflake,
  Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, Synapse) that Matillion pushes work down into.
notes: >-
  Credit inclusions and per-credit rates change; verify against the current
  Matillion pricing page during reconciliation. Total cost of ownership must
  account for both Matillion credits and the downstream warehouse compute the
  pipelines consume.

principles:
- name: Visibility
  description: Track credit consumption per project, environment, and pipeline in the Data Productivity Cloud usage views; correlate with downstream warehouse spend.
- name: Allocation
  description: Map projects and environments to teams and cost centers so credit burn is attributable.
- name: Optimization
  description: Push heavy transformation down to the warehouse (ELT), consolidate redundant pipeline runs, tune schedules to avoid idle re-runs, and right-size the plan to actual credit usage.
- name: Accountability
  description: Assign owners per project; review monthly credit consumption and overage against the plan allotment and downstream warehouse cost.
