Accurate Bg Finops

FinOps view of Accurate Background spend. Cost is driven by consumption of screening services, not by API calls: each ordered package and each individual search (criminal, SSN trace, employment/education verification, drug/health, MVR, identity/work authorization, international) is a billable unit, plus pass-through court, verification, and third-party access fees. The developer account and sandbox are free; production billing accrues per screening under a services agreement. There is no separate metered API/platform fee in the public documentation.
