costOptimizationLevers:
  - Choose annual billing over monthly to lower per-driver seat cost on Advanced, Advanced Plus, and Ultimate plans.
  - Match plan family to workload shape — fleets with stable driver count favour per-driver plans; high-order, gig-style fleets favour per-order plans.
  - Use restricted API keys scoped by IP/method/domain to prevent runaway third-party integrations from inflating order counts.
  - Use the POST /Order/Bulk endpoint to import up to 500 orders per request, reducing API request volume against rate limits.
