Filter the cost price per unit for a product before it is used in profit calculations.
Alpha Insights calculates product cost from various sources (WooCommerce native COGS, product meta, default cost settings). This filter runs after that calculation so you can override or adjust the cost price per unit for a specific product. The value is cached per product for the request.
