Baseline Conceptual Models: Entitlement Consumption Tracking Model

Entitlement Consumption Tracking Model:  Cloud services need to track the usage of benefit entitlements a customer account is consuming in order to enforce metered benefits and client license usage.  Tracking consumption also enables monitoring of feature usage in which can be used in analysis to determine what features are used most frequently and tune the cloud service accordingly.   Its can also provide insight as to what features are not used as much which can trigger further research into why a feature is not used as expected.  The feature could be redesigned or removed to save maintenance cost.

Please see (Baseline Conceptual Models Commentary) for further details on what conceptual models are to be used for.
