description: Starbucks does not operate a public, metered API program. There is no public price list,
  meter set, or invoice surface for API consumption — all integrations are private partner contracts
  outside the FOCUS-billable surface.

notes: No public pricing or billing surface to reconcile. Meters, FOCUS columns, and principles are deferred
  until a partner contract defines them.

principles:
  - name: Visibility
    description: Visibility is whatever telemetry (usage reports, invoice line items) the partner contract
      with Starbucks Technology grants — there is no public usage API.
  - name: Allocation
    description: Cost allocation is contract-by-contract; tag the partnership engagement in your own
      ERP / cost system rather than relying on a Starbucks-provided breakdown.
  - name: Optimization
    description: Optimization happens at contract renewal, not via dynamic plan changes — there is no
      public pay-as-you-go surface to optimize against.
  - name: Accountability
    description: A single business owner of the Starbucks partnership relationship should own the engagement
      cost line and renewal cycle.
