The problem this identity helps frame

Token units are widely available but can vary by model, tokenizer, provider, context policy, caching, and workload, so they require normalization before comparison or allocation.

What the record supports

The category is established in commercial AI services, while token definitions and billing treatments remain provider-specific.

What this is not

The identity is not a tokenizer, meter, price list, billing service, or accounting rule.
