Contract usage analytics

Detects contract usage analytics: a contract usage / licence utilisation / consumption report phrase combined with populated usage data - rows keyed by a customer or contract identifier, labelled licensed seats, active users, utilisation or overage values, or labelled customer/contract identifiers. Phrase-only mentions stay discovery-only.

Type: regex
Engine: boost_regex
Confidence: medium
Confidence justification: Enforce tiers require populated dataset structure (a data row keyed by a customer/record identifier, a labelled value or a labelled identifier) beside the topic phrase; a column header on its own only counts toward 85, so blank extracts stay at 65. Help pages, policies, product copy and news that only name the topic stay at 65. Medium because internal analytics documentation with worked examples can still reach 75.
Detection quality: Topic false positive
Jurisdictions: global
Regulations: Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), Information Privacy Act 2009 (Qld), GDPR
Frameworks: ISO 27001, ISO 27701
Data categories: pii
Scope: wide
Risk rating: 8
Platform compatibility: Purview: Compatible, GCP DLP: Compatible, Macie: Compatible, Zscaler: Compatible, Palo Alto: Degraded, Netskope: Unsupported

Known false positives

Privacy notices, help-centre articles, product pages and policies describing licence and contract usage. Mitigation: They name the topic without populated rows, labelled values or identifiers, and guidance/help framing is excluded, so they stay at 65.
Analytics training material and documentation with worked examples of licence and contract usage. Mitigation: Training and template framing is excluded; unframed worked examples with realistic rows can still reach 75.
News and industry commentary with aggregate statistics. Mitigation: Aggregate percentages are not keyed to a record identifier, so they do not satisfy the row or labelled-value structures.
