    description: Use Anypoint Usage Reports for vCore / flow / message consumption against the contracted
      capacity; expose API Manager X-Ratelimit-* headers to client teams for self-service awareness.
  - name: Allocation
    description: Tag APIs and Mule applications with consuming line-of-business, environment, and product
      owner; aggregate Anypoint Usage Reports by these tags for chargeback.
  - name: Optimization
    description: Right-size vCore capacity per environment, prune low-throughput APIs, lean on Flex Gateway
      replicas before adding capacity, and consolidate add-ons (Monitoring, Security, DataGraph) only
      where the LOB benefits.
  - name: Accountability
    description: The platform owner runs renewal sizing against Anypoint Usage Reports; LOB API owners
      own their per-API throughput SLAs and Rate-Limiting SLA contract definitions; procurement aligns
      add-on renewals with the master Salesforce contract.
