description: FOCUS-aligned FinOps artifact for Salesforce Net Zero Cloud. Pricing is gated; meters and
  principles describe the expected billing surface. Salesforce publishes per-edition pricing on its product
  pages, but those pages are not retrievable via automated fetch (HTTP 403). All editions are sold via
  Salesforce Sales; API access is included with the underlying CRM license rather than priced as a discrete
  API SKU. Treat this artifact as a contact-sales placeholder until pricing pages can be reconciled manually.
