description: FinOps shape for Redfin programmatic data partnerships. Redfin does not publish self-serve
  API pricing; spend is governed by the partner contract and any FinOps allocation must be derived from
  invoices supplied by Redfin under that contract.

principles:
  - name: Visibility
    description: Track Redfin partnership invoices and any agreed usage reports; no public usage API
      exists, so visibility relies on contractual reporting.
  - name: Allocation
    description: Allocate Redfin partnership cost to the consuming product line; without per-call telemetry
      use the contract's negotiated unit (per-feed, per-region) as the allocation key.
  - name: Optimization
    description: Optimization is contractual — renegotiate scope, geography, and refresh cadence at renewal
      rather than tuning request volume.
  - name: Accountability
    description: Owner is the partnership/data team that signed the Redfin contract; renewals and scope
      changes go through that owner.
notes: No public pricing or usage API; FinOps shape reflects a contract-driven data partnership rather
  than a metered API. Generic meters/columns removed.
