description: >-
  FinOps view of Relativity Space spend. Relativity Space does not bill any
  usage-based API consumption; it sells contract-based Terran R launch
  services (dedicated and rideshare payload missions). There are no
  per-call, per-token, or per-unit API meters to track. Cost management here
  is procurement of launch-service agreements, not cloud-style usage
  optimization, so this artifact is informational and largely empty.
notes: >-
  Informational record for an aerospace manufacturer with no public API and no
  metered billing. If a programmatic, usage-billed product ever appears,
  reconcile meters and FOCUS columns against it.

principles:
- name: Visibility
  description: >-
    No API usage to meter; spend visibility is at the launch-service contract
    level, tracked through procurement, not usage exports.
- name: Allocation
  description: >-
    Allocate launch-service contract costs to the mission / program they
    support; there are no API keys or per-call usage to tag.
- name: Optimization
  description: >-
    Optimize via rideshare vs. dedicated launch selection and contract terms,
    not usage-tier tuning.
- name: Accountability
  description: >-
    Assign mission / program owners to each launch-service agreement and review
    contract commitments against budget.
