   - Clarified that the FinOps toolkit exclusively manages the FinOps hub virtual network and documented customer-managed private endpoints as the preferred private-access topology, with virtual network peering as a secondary option ([#2156](https://github.com/microsoft/finops-toolkit/issues/2156)).
   - Replaced redundant `tolower()` comparisons in hub KQL with case-insensitive operators (`has`, `=~`, `!~`) so the engine can use the term index instead of scanning every row ([#2213](https://github.com/microsoft/finops-toolkit/issues/2213)).
   - Replaced whole-term `contains` matches with `has` across hub KQL and the query catalog (resource ID paths, licensing phrases, SKU description terms) and added a per-row operator-equivalence regression harness with unit test coverage ([#2220](https://github.com/microsoft/finops-toolkit/pull/2220)).
+  - Updated the hub cost estimate note to reflect real-world Azure Data Explorer and Microsoft Fabric pricing and called out that Data Explorer cost varies significantly by region; the previous flat estimate understated actual cost for some regions and SKUs ([#2229](https://github.com/microsoft/finops-toolkit/issues/2229)).
 - **Fixed**
   - Fixed private-network deployments that Azure Policy blocked when `defaultOutboundAccess` was omitted. Private mode subnets now set it to `false`, while an Azure Files private endpoint supports deployment-script storage and the NAT Gateway provides required container egress ([#2258](https://github.com/microsoft/finops-toolkit/issues/2258), [#2259](https://github.com/microsoft/finops-toolkit/pull/2259)).
   - Fixed the `ContractedCost` recompute guard to compare with a null-safe tolerance instead of exact float equality, eliminating millions of no-op rewrites that polluted the `x_SourceValues` audit trail while preserving the null-cost backfill and no longer overwriting an existing cost when the unit price is missing ([#2216](https://github.com/microsoft/finops-toolkit/issues/2216)).

-> Estimated monthly cost includes $120 for a single-node Azure Data Explorer cluster or $300 for F2 Fabric capacity, plus $10 in Azure storage and processing cost per $1M being monitored. Exact cost will vary based on discounts, data size (we estimate ~20GB per $1M), and Fabric or Power BI license requirements. Cost without Data Explorer or Fabric is $5 per $1M. For details, refer to the [FinOps hub cost estimate](https://aka.ms/finops/hubs/calculator) in the Azure Pricing Calculator.
