A FocusContractCommitments property references an endpoint or document for commitment-based pricing data structured according to the FOCUS Contract Commitment Dataset (introduced in FOCUS v1.3). This supplemental dataset isolates reserved instance, savings plan, and enterprise discount program terms — including commitment start and end dates, remaining committed units, and commitment type — from per-row cost and usage data, enabling FinOps tooling to reconcile commitment purchases against actual consumption.

Also known as: Commitment Discount Dataset, FOCUS Commitments, Reservation and Savings Plan Inventory
