SummaryThe paper formalizes a grain mismatch between settlement billing and enterprise transaction costs, then proposes a two-ledger model joining FOCUS billing with invocation-level OpenTelemetry records. It details correlation, pricing, reconciliation, and gating, with simulation results for coverage, residual recovery, and transaction-cost reduction.
Why it mattersGives platform and FinOps teams a concrete correlation architecture for attributing model spend to orders, claims, or cases across providers.
