FOCUS (FinOps Open Cost and Usage Specification)
FOCUS definition for SaaS and AI founders: what it means, how to calculate it, and common pitfalls when reading it in dashboards.
FOCUS is an open specification from the FinOps Foundation that defines common columns for billing data across providers, so cost data from different clouds and vendors can be combined.
In practice
Vercel publishes billing charges in FOCUS format, which MarginMeter uses for its Vercel integration.
