notes: Qlik Sense Enterprise is a license-based on-premises analytics platform; Qlik does not publish
  per-API meter pricing or usage telemetry on its public site. FinOps mapping is left at the platform
  license level until the customer contract terms are reconciled.
description: FOCUS-aligned FinOps for Qlik Sense Enterprise is bound to the platform license rather
  than per-API metering; usage data is collected inside the customer's Qlik deployment.

principles:
  - name: Visibility
    description: Qlik Sense Enterprise emits internal usage telemetry through the Qlik Management Console
      and the QMC logs; consumers must collect this data inside their own deployment.
  - name: Allocation
    description: Allocate platform license cost against the analytics teams and business units consuming
      Qlik dashboards; sub-allocation within the platform requires custom tagging on apps and streams.
  - name: Optimization
    description: Right-size the Qlik deployment (engine memory, proxy capacity) and consolidate streams
      and apps to keep license consumption inside the contracted capacity.
  - name: Accountability
    description: License renewal and capacity expansion are owned by the analytics platform team; engage
      Qlik sales for true-up or downgrade conversations.
