Methodology

Version 2026.09.0. Raw artifact + content hash are always true; structured extracts are best-effort and never block ingest.

What we watch

Structured extract

managed_k8s: control_plane_usd_hour, control_plane_usd_month, optional SKU rows. helm_chart: chart_name, chart_version, app_version, default_images.

Index

k8s.managed.list_price.churn (marketing alias k8s_list_price_basket) — equal-weight mean of latest positive extracted control-plane monthly list prices (control_plane_usd_month > 0) across the managed basket, plus churn_events (content/version changes that month). Free-tier control planes (e.g. AKS list $0) are excluded from the mean and reduce coverage_ratio. Every point carries methodology_version.

Change events

When a fetch hash differs, we emit first_seen / content_changed / version_bumped (and failure/recovery kinds). Every structured row carries methodology_version and schema_version.

Limits. Not a security rating, not a cost guarantee, not coverage of private registries or customer clusters. List prices may lag or omit discounts.
