## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability b2b-wholesale-distributor-margin-stack-calculator-ef8e7c5c
```

Example prompt: Run a wholesale margin stack analysis for my product: MSRP is $40, COGS is $7.50, I'm offering a 50% keystone wholesale discount, and my MOQ is 100 units — show me the brand margin, MOQ order value, and what happens when a distributor takes a 25% cut.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, deterministic B2B wholesale margin calculations without setting up a spreadsheet or financial model — especially for CPG, ecommerce, or consumer product brands evaluating keystone pricing, distributor channel economics, or MOQ profitability. It is purpose-built for the wholesale margin stack use case (MSRP → wholesale → distributor) and includes a MAP policy readiness check not typically found in generic margin calculators.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required query parameter (msrp_usd, unit_cogs_usd, wholesale_discount_pct, or moq_units) returns a 400 error
- Non-numeric string values for numeric parameters may cause a 400 or 422 error
- COGS exceeding wholesale unit price results in negative margin output (not an error, but indicates unprofitable pricing)
- Payment failure via x402 protocol (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the request
- Very large MOQ values or extreme discount percentages may produce edge-case outputs but should compute deterministically

## How this service works

Deterministic B2B wholesale keystone & distributor margin stack calculator. Pass ?msrp_usd=40&unit_cogs_usd=7.50&wholesale_discount_pct=50&moq_units=100. Returns wholesale unit price, brand gross profit/margin, MOQ order value, distributor-tier margin (at 25% distributor cut), and MAP policy readiness checklist.

## Output

Returns a structured JSON object with: (1) echoed inputs, (2) direct wholesale tier metrics — wholesale unit price, gross profit per unit, brand gross margin %, MOQ order revenue, and MOQ order gross profit, (3) distributor tier metrics at 25% distributor margin — sell-to-distributor price, brand gross profit per unit with distributor, and brand gross margin % with distributor, and (4) a MAP policy readiness checklist indicating whether the pricing structure is compatible with minimum advertised price enforcement.
