Example prompt: Can you calculate the profit margin for a product that costs me $18 to make, I sell it for $45, and I pay $3.50 in platform fees and $4 in shipping?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call margin calculation for e-commerce products without integrating a full analytics platform. Ideal for agents automating pricing decisions, product profitability screening, or ad-hoc margin checks across SKUs. Particularly useful when you need to evaluate margins programmatically at low cost ($0.03/call) without a subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required cost or price fields returns a validation error
- Negative or zero selling price may cause computation errors
- Malformed input JSON structure returns a 400 error
- Fees exceeding selling price may return a negative or zero margin result
- Service unavailability or payment failure returns a 402 or 5xx error
