## 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 delx-commerce-unit-economics-calculator-6b9fad30 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you calculate the unit economics for my product — my cost is $0.002 and I'm selling it for $0.01? I want to know the gross profit, gross margin percentage, and whether it's actually profitable.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, verifiable, pay-per-call computation of unit economics (gross profit and margin) without setting up any account or subscription. Ideal for AI agents that need to programmatically evaluate pricing decisions on-the-fly using USDC micropayments via the x402 protocol.

## Known failure modes

- Missing cost or price fields returns a validation error
- Non-numeric values for cost or price cause a parse error
- Price of zero may cause division-by-zero in margin calculation
- Network or payment failure (x402 USDC payment not verified) blocks the response

## How this service works

Pay-per-result APIs for agents. No signup. Exact price. Verifiable delivery. USDC on Base + Solana via x402.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the original cost and price, a boolean 'profitable' flag, computed gross_profit (price minus cost), gross_margin_percent as a percentage, and a schema identifier string (delx/util-unit-economics/v1).
