costAllocation:
  tags:
    - name: team
      description: Allocate Storylane costs to marketing, sales, or product teams by workspace or seat assignment.
    - name: environment
      description: Tag workspaces used for production demos versus internal training or development.
    - name: cost-center
      description: Map subscription charges to finance cost centers for chargeback or showback reporting.
  notes: >
    Storylane does not natively expose cost allocation tags via API. Cost
    allocation should be managed in the finance system by mapping seat counts
    and workspace identifiers to internal cost centers.

optimization:
  recommendations:
    - name: Annual Commitment Discount
      description: >
        Commit to annual billing to save approximately 20 percent compared to
        monthly rates across all Demo Suite tiers. Validate seat utilization
        before committing to avoid over-provisioning.
    - name: Right-size Seat Count
      description: >
        Audit active seat usage quarterly. Remove unused seats on Starter or
        Growth plans where additional seats are billed individually at
        $40-$100 per seat per month.
    - name: Plan Tier Evaluation
      description: >
        Evaluate whether account reveal volume and integration requirements
        justify the step from Starter (250 reveals/month) to Growth
        (2,500 reveals/month) before upgrading.
    - name: RepX Chat Capacity Alignment
      description: >
        Monitor monthly visitor volume against the 10,000-visitor (Growth) or
        40,000-visitor (Premium) capacity caps to avoid overage conversations
        and to identify the right RepX plan tier.
    - name: API Access Gating
      description: >
        API access is available only on the Enterprise plan. If the primary
        driver for an Enterprise upgrade is API access, assess whether
        Zapier-based integrations on lower tiers can meet the same workflow
        needs at lower cost.

governance:
  notes: >
    Storylane access tokens for the External API are not stored server-side
    and cannot be recovered if lost. Implement a secrets management process
    (e.g., a vault or secrets manager) to store issued tokens securely.
    Rotate tokens periodically and revoke compromised tokens immediately
    by contacting support@storylane.io. Enforce SSO (available on Premium
    and Enterprise plans) to centralize identity governance across workspace
    members.
