notes: >
  SlashID uses a consumption-based billing model priced per active user identity.
  AWS Marketplace pricing is $0.60 per identity. Non-human identities (service
  accounts, M2M tokens) are excluded from per-identity billing. Enterprise
  customers negotiate custom pricing. Cost drivers are primarily active user
  count and any additional infrastructure costs for multi-region deployments.

      Track active identity counts monthly to forecast costs. Monitor API
      usage via the SlashID console dashboard. Use organization-level
      analytics for attribution by team or application.
    actions:
      - Monitor monthly active identity (MAI) count in SlashID console
      - Set up webhook notifications for unusual authentication volume spikes
      - Tag organizations by team/project for cost attribution

      Optimize costs by deactivating inactive user identities, consolidating
      overlapping organizations, and right-sizing multi-region deployments.
      Evaluate AWS Marketplace commitment discounts versus direct billing.
    actions:
      - Audit and remove inactive user identities regularly
      - Use sandbox environment for all non-production testing
      - Evaluate enterprise pricing if MAI exceeds 10,000 identities
      - Compare AWS Marketplace vs direct billing for committed use discounts

      Align identity platform costs to business units or products using
      SlashID sub-organizations to isolate billing units and attribute costs
      to owning teams.
    actions:
      - Create sub-organizations per product or business unit
      - Review identity costs as part of monthly cloud spend review
      - Use FOCUS-aligned cost exports for cross-provider cost analysis
