## 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 break-even-ad-cost-per-order-target-gap-calculator-9ead502f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: My online store brings in $120 revenue per order, product cost is $45, fulfilment is $12, payment fees are $6, and other variable costs are $3. My target ad cost per order is $25 — can you calculate the break-even ad cost per order and tell me the gap from my target?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, local break-even ad cost calculation with a target gap comparison for a single retail order scenario. It is ideal for pre-campaign sanity checks, pricing decisions, and what-if scenario analysis where all cost figures are already known. Not suitable if you need live platform fee lookups, real-time ad platform data, or bulk batch analysis across many SKUs.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required cost fields (order_revenue, product_cost, fulfilment_cost, payment_fees, other_variable_costs) will cause a validation error
- Values outside allowed numeric range will be rejected
- Negative revenue or extreme values may produce nonsensical gap results but no error is thrown
- No live platform fee or inventory data is fetched — results are only as accurate as the figures supplied

## How this service works

Break-even ad cost per order - Target gap calculation: Target gap calculation for Break-even ad cost per order. Supplied retail figures only. Local calculation and scenario analysis; no live inventory, account access, platform fee lookup or order execution. One of 25 profiles or calculations across 20 shared operations in this sector. 0.01 USDC includes one bounded target gap calculation deliverable.

## Output

Returns the calculated break-even ad cost per order (revenue minus all non-ad variable costs) and the numerical gap between that break-even figure and the supplied target value, enabling the caller to assess whether their ad spend target is sustainable.
