description: >-
  Rite Aid integrations are partner-contract driven; no public billing surface or usage API
  exists. FinOps shape is placeholder until a partner contract is in place.
notes: >-
  No published billing model. Integration costs are typically buried in vendor contract terms
  rather than itemized on a usage invoice.
