description: >-
  FinOps view of Trubrics spend. Trubrics bills on a usage-based model metered
  by the number of events ingested, with a free starting allowance of 1,000
  events and an Enterprise tier for larger volumes. The primary cost driver is
  ingested event volume across user events, LLM events, and feedback events.
  Per-event rates are not published in a reconciled form.
notes: >-
  Event-volume metering and the free allowance are documented; exact per-event
  prices were not reconcilable at capture time. Verify against the Trubrics
  site during reconciliation.
