description: >-
  FOCUS-aligned FinOps profile for Travis CI. Billing is plan-based with build
  credit consumption tracked against the plan's monthly/annual budget;
  Unlimited plans bill a flat seat fee. Server (on-prem) plans bill a flat
  monthly per-instance fee. The customer's own infrastructure cost applies
  only to Server deployments.
notes: >-
  Build credits are the unit of consumption inside Travis. Premium VM jobs
  consume credits at higher rates than Linux jobs; macOS / Windows / GPU
  multipliers vary. The Travis dashboard exposes a per-organization usage page
  for chargeback.
