  FOCUS-aligned FinOps view for Oracle Primavera: Primavera Cloud is billed as
  a SaaS subscription per Hosted Named User per month (with role tiers for
  full-use vs viewer); on-premises P6 EPPM is billed against the contractual
  Oracle Technology license. REST API access is bundled with the subscription
  / license. FinOps observation focuses on user-license utilization per role
  and on the underlying infrastructure costs for on-premises deployments.

notes: >-
  No per-API meter exists. Track license seat utilization per role through
  the Primavera Cloud admin console, plus underlying OCI / on-premises
  infrastructure cost for on-premises P6 EPPM deployments.

      Review per-role seat utilization in the Primavera Cloud admin console
      and reconcile monthly against the contractual seat count; for
      on-premises P6 EPPM track the underlying WebLogic / database
      infrastructure cost separately.
  - name: Allocation
    description: >-
      Tag user records with project, business unit, and cost center so
      Primavera seats can be attributed back to the consuming portfolio.
  - name: Optimization
    description: >-
      Move occasional reviewers from full-use to viewer seats, reclaim
      inactive accounts, and consolidate small project portfolios onto a
      single Primavera Cloud tenant where governance permits.
  - name: Accountability
    description: >-
      Pair the Primavera applications administrator with a portfolio /
      construction-controls owner; review seat growth and renewal scoping at
      portfolio gate reviews.
