  FOCUS-aligned FinOps view of Trane Technologies' digital surface:
  per-building Trane Connect subscriptions, per-site Tracer SC+ /
  Symbio controls licensing, and per-asset Thermo King TracKing
  telematics — bundled with hardware and dealer-network commercial
  agreements rather than billed as standalone API SKUs.
notes: >-
  Trane Technologies does not bill API access as a separate SKU.
  FinOps mapping is provisional; reconcile against the customer's
  Trane Connect / Tracer / TracKing commercial agreement and the
  Trane / Thermo King dealer or partner contract.

  - name: Visibility
    description: >-
      Visibility comes from the Trane Connect and TracKing dashboards
      (building count, asset count, alarms, telemetry volume); there
      is no separate API-billing dashboard published by Trane.
  - name: Allocation
    description: >-
      Allocate by building (Trane Connect), site (Tracer / Symbio),
      and asset (TracKing); multi-fleet or multi-portfolio customers
      should partition by tenant per business unit.
  - name: Optimization
    description: >-
      Decommission inactive assets and consolidate idle buildings to
      reduce per-asset / per-building burn; tune trend, alarm, and
      telemetry cadence to avoid redundant ingestion through partner
      integrations.
  - name: Accountability
    description: >-
      Facilities-management owns Trane Connect / Tracer; fleet
      operations owns TracKing. Quarterly asset, building, and renewal
      reviews are typical with the Trane dealer network and Thermo
      King support.
