description: FOCUS-aligned FinOps placeholder for Sportradar. Cost is governed by
  the bilateral data-licensing contract — typically a fixed annual fee plus
  variable components for matches, streams, or revenue share — rather than a
  per-API-call meter.

    description: Placeholder for the contracted data license; the actual billable
      unit (annual fee, per-match, per-stream, revenue share) varies by product
      and customer.

    aggregation: sum
    dimensions:
      - sport
      - region
      - use_case
principles:
  - name: Visibility
    description: Visibility is provided through the customer portal and contract
      reporting deliverables. There is no public usage-API for cost extraction.
  - name: Allocation
    description: Costs are allocated against the licensing business unit
      (sportsbook, media product, league partner) named in the contract.
  - name: Optimization
    description: Optimization happens at contract renewal — scoping the right
      sport packages and feed depth for the use case rather than tuning request
      patterns.
  - name: Accountability
    description: Owned by the commercial / product owner that signs the
      sportsbook or media data agreement.
notes: No self-serve per-call billing surface; all commercial relationships are
  contracted.
