Researcher’s reading note

The default specification link resolved to v1.4 when researched; includes Billed/Effective Cost, consumption/pricing quantities and allocation metadata.

Point-in-time observation, not a claim that all providers support v1.4. v1.3 also remains available. Refresh before presentation if showing a version.
