description: >-
  FinOps view of Urjanet (now part of Arcadia) Utility Cloud / "Arc" spend.
  Because Urjanet pricing is sales-led and not publicly published, billing
  model, meters, and rates are not reconciled. Cost is typically driven by data
  volume, number of connected utility accounts/credentials, commodities,
  geographic coverage, and data refresh frequency under a negotiated contract.
notes: >-
  Replace meters and billing model with reconciled detail only when obtained
  from a Urjanet / Arcadia contract or invoice; no public rate card exists.
