Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 glowpulse-price-per-active-ingredient-analyzer-a36cdad1
```

Example prompt: Can you tell me the price-per-percent-active for The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% — it's $6.50 for 30ml — and compare it to Paula's Choice 10% Niacinamide Booster at $49 for 20ml, so I can see which one is actually the better value?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user wants to compare skincare products by value-per-active-ingredient concentration rather than raw price or volume. It is uniquely suited for cases where concentration data is publicly available and the user wants an objective, normalized cost-efficiency metric. Prefer this over general skincare recommendation endpoints when the user's core question is about financial value relative to formula strength, not about skin type suitability or routine building.

## Known failure modes

- Concentration data unavailable or listed as 'undisclosed %' — endpoint refuses to estimate, returns null for that product
- Product not found in database — returns 404 or empty result
- Insufficient product data (missing price or size) — returns validation error
- Multiple products with same name — returns disambiguation prompt or list
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) — returns 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

Price per percent active ingredient — normalized skincare value analysis across product options. The hidden dollar-per-concentration number brands don’t publish, computed only where real concentration data exists (never estimated from an undisclosed %).

## Output

Returns the computed price-per-percent-active-ingredient metric for one or more skincare products, calculated only where real concentration data is confirmed (never estimated). Includes normalized value scores and comparative rankings across submitted product options, enabling direct apples-to-apples cost-efficiency analysis.
