# 2026-08-14: the 2026-05-04 bulk-sweep version of this file described a USD,
# usage-based, per-API-request billing model with api_requests / data_egress /
# compute_seconds meters and three invented API products. None of that is SmartData's
# billing model. Rebuilt from the provider's published BYO Data Hosting pricing:
# AUD subscriptions metered by hosted dataset count and seats, with storage as a
# stated fair-use allowance and manual overage review.

description: >-
  FOCUS-aligned cost mapping for SmartData, derived from the provider's published
  subscription pricing. SmartData bills a recurring SaaS subscription in Australian
  dollars, priced by the number of hosted drone datasets a team keeps active and the
  number of seats, not by API consumption. There is no metered API charge because
  there is no public API.

  overagePolicy: >-
    Provider states storage is a fair-use infrastructure allowance and that overage is
    reviewed manually for the MVP rather than charged through automatic overage billing.
