  FinOps view of Service Fusion spend. Service Fusion is a flat-rate SaaS
  subscription, not usage-metered - cost is the monthly (or annual) plan fee for
  one of three tiers (Starter, Plus, Pro), each with unlimited users, so spend
  does not scale with technician headcount or the number of jobs, estimates, or
  invoices processed. The Open API carries no separate per-call charge; it is a
  feature bundled into the Pro plan and is governed by a rate limit (~60
  requests/minute) rather than metered billing. The relevant FinOps decisions
  are therefore tier selection (does the organization need Pro-only capabilities
  such as API access, eSignatures, and customer portals) and annual-versus-
  monthly commitment, not per-unit consumption optimization.
notes: >-
  Because pricing is flat-rate and unlimited-user, the dominant cost lever is
  choosing the right tier and billing term, not reducing API call volume. If API
  access is required, the organization must be on the Pro plan; there is no way
  to buy the API separately. Confirm current tier prices with Service Fusion, as
  list pricing is not published on their site.

principles:
- name: Visibility
  description: Track which subscription tier the organization is on and whether Pro-only features (API access, eSignatures, portals) are actually used to justify the tier.
- name: Allocation
  description: With unlimited flat-rate users, allocate the single subscription fee across departments by usage share rather than by seat count.
- name: Optimization
  description: Right-size the plan tier and prefer annual billing for the discount; API call volume does not drive cost, so optimize for correctness and rate-limit compliance rather than call reduction.
- name: Accountability
  description: Assign an owner for the Service Fusion subscription and review tier fit at renewal against the features actually consumed.
