principles:
  - name: Visibility
    description: Visibility comes from the LSEG monthly invoice and the entitlement report listing active
      Eikon/Workspace seats; no API-level usage meter is exposed.
  - name: Allocation
    description: Allocate per licensed user (trader, analyst, RM); map each seat to a cost center in
      the entitlement system.
  - name: Optimization
    description: Optimization is seat hygiene — reclaim seats from inactive users, migrate from Eikon
      to LSEG Workspace before contract renewal, and right-size data-set entitlements.
  - name: Accountability
    description: Owner is the market-data licensing administrator who manages LSEG entitlements; renewals
      and seat changes flow through that role.
notes: Per-seat subscription only; no API request meter exists. Generic FOCUS request meters and per-call
  dimensions removed.
