description: FinOps view of the Walgreens Developer Program. There is no
  publicly metered API price; the commercial model is approval-based partner
  access with a revenue-share commission for the Photo Prints API. FOCUS
  mapping is partial because no per-call cost surface is exposed - what flows
  to FinOps is the partner-share settlement.

notes: No published per-call price; no Walgreens-issued usage / billing API for
  partners. FOCUS records depend on the partner-share statements issued under
  the integration agreement.
