description: >-
  RTX defense and aerospace software is sold under government program contracts. FinOps
  treatment is program-cost driven, not usage-metered.
notes: >-
  No public usage API or itemized billing exists. Cost is dominated by program-of-record
  contracts and FFP / cost-plus structures rather than pay-as-you-go meters.

  - name: Visibility
    description: >-
      Track RTX program cost through DFARS-compliant cost-accounting reports and the prime
      contractor's program-management dashboards.
  - name: Allocation
    description: >-
      Allocate RTX program cost to the contract WBS and the consuming program-of-record, not
      to general IT.
  - name: Optimization
    description: >-
      Optimization levers are program-management driven (scope control, EVM, sub-contract
      management) rather than infrastructure auto-scaling.
  - name: Accountability
    description: >-
      Program managers and contracting officers own RTX-related cost; review through standard
      EVM and milestone reviews.
