principles:
  - name: Visibility
    description: Workspace usage (APIs tracked, monthly request counts, retention) is exposed in the
      Treblle dashboard against the contracted plan caps; finance teams reconcile against the annual
      Core invoice or the negotiated Growth/Enterprise contract.
  - name: Allocation
    description: Allocate cost using Treblle workspaces and the per-API tag set already collected by
      Treblle's API Intelligence; one workspace per Core plan, multiple on Enterprise.
  - name: Optimization
    description: On Core, optimize by consolidating low-volume APIs into the 10-API / 50M-request cap
      before triggering an upgrade; on Growth and Enterprise, right-size the contracted requests-per-minute
      and retention window to the SLO actually required by API Security and Governance use cases.
  - name: Accountability
    description: API platform / DevEx team owns the Treblle subscription; per-API owners are responsible
      for keeping ingested request volume inside the workspace cap.
