description: FOCUS-aligned FinOps for Webflow. Webflow bills as tiered subscriptions across three
  product surfaces — Site Plans (per-site), Workspace Plans (per-seat), and Ecommerce Plans (per-store
  + transaction-fee on Standard) — invoiced monthly or annually in USD. The Data API itself is bundled
  with the Site Plan and rate-limited rather than metered, so cost optimization centers on right-sizing
  Site / Workspace / Ecommerce tiers.

principles:
  - name: Visibility
    description: Cost visibility is via the Workspace billing dashboard at webflow.com — review the
      site / seat / ecommerce subscriptions per workspace and the bandwidth meter on each site dashboard.
  - name: Allocation
    description: Allocate Webflow spend by workspace (one workspace per business unit / agency client),
      site (one per brand or property), and seat (named designer / developer). Workspace billing
      consolidates all sites under a workspace into one invoice.
  - name: Optimization
    description: Cost levers are (1) move stores from Standard (2% fee) to Plus (0%) once monthly GMV
      makes the $74 vs $29 delta worthwhile; (2) consolidate underused workspaces; (3) drop unused
      Site Plans on staging projects; (4) keep API calls under the per-key per-minute limit to avoid
      forcing an Enterprise upgrade for rate alone — use webhooks instead of polling.
  - name: Accountability
    description: Workspace owner / billing admin holds accountability; design / engineering owners
      review site bandwidth, CMS-item counts, and API rate-limit alerts before adding new sites or
      higher-traffic launches.
