Sec Edgar Finops

SEC EDGAR is free U.S. Government public data — there is no provider charge. FinOps focus is therefore on internal cost-to-serve (egress, compute to parse filings, downstream storage) rather than vendor spend. No FOCUS BillingCost line items exist for SEC; meters track operational consumption for showback inside the consuming organization.
