Adapter hosting is a separate allocation and must exclude resources already priced as staging, workers or target capacity. * A declared adapter mapping and cost model do not establish implementation availability or service equivalence. * This is a declared directed mapping; a planning estimate does not establish deployment or request-serving support. * Origin unit prices are cited provider list prices; capacity coefficients and translation assumptions are editable authored planning guesses, not measured capacity or a provider quote. * Management requests do not reveal resource allocation or workload traffic. Provisioned resources and traffic are independent inputs. * This control-plane-only comparison never infers VM-hours, NAT-hours or network bytes from API calls. * Allocated VM CPU and memory hours, attached disk GiB-months and selected egress are explicit physical usage; management API counts never create VM-hours. Licenses, GPUs and Spot or committed discounts are excluded. Azure: Dsv5 decomposed against Esv5; Premium SSD v2 disk; internet egress. * Amazon EC2 pricing: [https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/) * Azure Retail Prices API: [https://prices.azure.com/api/retail/prices](https://prices.azure.com/api/retail/prices) Cost scope: Modeled target native service and explicitly modeled state allocation; hosting and Tensor9 fees only when supplied. Excluded costs and workload features: * All VM, disk, network, NAT, address and load-balancer resource charges. Include them through their independent resource models. * Taxes, discounts, credits and free-tier allowances unless explicitly reflected in edited rates. * Unmodeled dependent services, task execution and operations outside the selected workload family.
