description: >-
  FinOps view of Truora spend. Truora bills per background check, per KYC
  validation, and per Digital Identity / WhatsApp process under quote-based
  volume plans. Because rates are volume-negotiated per LatAm market, cost
  management centers on attributing per-check / per-validation spend to
  workflows and monitoring conversion vs. verification volume.
notes: >-
  Per-verification rates are quote-based and not publicly listed; reconcile
  against the commercial agreement. Currency will typically be USD or local
  LatAm currency depending on the contracting entity.
