description: 'FOCUS-aligned FinOps for Uber: enterprise / partner-gated developer APIs with no public
  pricing. Spend is contract-driven (per-trip, per-delivery, platform fees) and surfaced via Uber for
  Business reporting rather than a public usage-meter API.'
notes: Uber developer access is enterprise-only; FOCUS columns and meters are best-effort placeholders
  pending reconciliation against an actual Uber for Business invoice.
