  - name: Consolidate Integrations
    description: >
      Review active integrations and disable those not actively used in
      production workflows to stay within tier limits and avoid overage charges.

  - name: API Request Efficiency
    description: >
      Batch API operations where possible and implement request caching for
      frequently accessed resources to stay well within the 50 req/s rate limit
      and avoid throttling-induced retry storms.

  - name: Annual vs Monthly Billing

      Commit to annual contracts for Professional and Enterprise tiers to unlock
      potential discount over month-to-month pricing arrangements.

  - name: AWS Marketplace Procurement

  - name: Budget Thresholds
    description: >
      Set internal budget alerts at 75% and 90% of contracted workflow run
      allocations to avoid unexpected overages at renewal.
