description: 'FOCUS-aligned FinOps shape for Medtronic: connected medical-device platform where APIs
  are bundled with device / service contracts. Cost is allocated by program, device line, and reimbursement
  context rather than per-API-call billing.'
notes: |
  No public per-API pricing. Meters reflect partner-program economic units (active devices, patient
  records, clinician seats) rather than raw API requests.

principles:
  - name: Visibility
    description: Track integration consumption by program (CareLink, diabetes platform, EHR connectivity)
      via the Medtronic developer portal usage view; reconcile against partner agreements and device
      service contracts.
  - name: Allocation
    description: Allocate by partner program, device line, and care setting (hospital, clinic, home).
      For payors and ACOs, allocate by attributed patient population.
  - name: Optimization
    description: Reduce sync frequency for non-clinically-critical telemetry, cache device metadata, and
      consolidate integrations per care setting (single connector for cardiac + diabetes where both
      programs are present).
  - name: Accountability
    description: Assign a clinical integration owner per program responsible for compliance with HIPAA /
      GDPR controls, partner agreement renewals, and clinical workflow validation.
