Awin Affiliate Finops

FinOps view of Awin spend. Awin's API itself is not metered; cost sits in the affiliate network's commercial model. For advertisers, spend is a monthly platform fee plus a per-transaction tracking fee (network override) and the partner commission paid to publishers per validated sale or lead. For publishers, the relationship is revenue, not cost - commissions earned per transaction. The API is the reporting and reconciliation surface over that spend and revenue.
