      AI credit consumption, seats, and locales against included plan allotments.
  - name: Allocation
    description: Allocate cost by space and locale; use Storyblok spaces as the primary attribution
      boundary for multi-product tenants.
  - name: Optimization
    description: Maximize the use of cached CDN requests (1,000 RPS limit vs 50 RPS uncached) to stay
      under the API request quota; consolidate locales onto fewer paid locales where possible; choose
      annual billing for the published discount on Growth and Growth Plus.
  - name: Accountability
    description: Assign a Storyblok workspace owner per space; review monthly usage against included
      limits to forecast overage spend; escalate to Premium/Elite when overages exceed roughly 1.5-2x
      the next tier's base price.
