description: 'FinOps for Minerals Technologies does not map to a cloud / API consumption model;
  commercial spend is governed by negotiated B2B supply contracts denominated in shipped product
  units (tons, pounds, pallets) rather than API meters.'

notes: Industrial supplier without a public API. FinOps mapping is structural only; meters reflect
  procurement-style line items.
