  FOCUS-aligned FinOps definition for Truework's Verifications API. Truework's primary
  charge unit is the completed verification, with sub-meters per verification method
  (Instant Data, Payroll Credentials, Bank Credentials, Tax Credentials, Smart Outreach,
  Document Upload). Per-unit rates are contract-driven (contact sales), not publicly
  posted, so this file captures the metering surface and FOCUS mapping rather than rate cards.
