  FOCUS-aligned FinOps shape for the Restaurant Brands International Partners
  platform: a partner-onboarding integration surface with no public
  metered API price, where consumption is the volume of orders, menu/store
  syncs, loyalty identifications, and payment captures flowing through the
  bilateral partner relationship rather than a published per-call invoice.

principles:
  - name: Visibility
    description: >-
      Consumption is visible through the order, payment, and loyalty events
      exchanged over the Partners API and the order/store webhooks RBI emits
      back to the partner; there is no public usage/billing API.
  - name: Allocation
    description: >-
      Attribute volume by the brand and region encoded in the issued
      credential and the x-region header, allowing per-brand
      (Burger King, Popeyes, Firehouse Subs) and per-market breakdowns.
  - name: Optimization
    description: >-
      Reduce wasted calls by honoring menu and store webhooks instead of
      polling, and by validating baskets (Transaction Validate) before
      committing or firing orders.
  - name: Accountability
    description: >-
      Commercial accountability sits with the RBI partner agreement owner;
      reconcile event volumes against the negotiated terms rather than a
      public rate card.
