# Margin of Safety – Target Gap Calculator

> Margin of Safety – Target Gap Calculator is a paid API for AI agents from market.datapackvibe.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-22).

Calculates the margin of safety metric by comparing actual sales against break-even sales, then measures the result against a user-supplied numeric target to report the gap.

## 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 margin-of-safety-target-gap-calculator-f6ff93f5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Calculate the margin of safety for a business with actual sales of $10,000 and break-even sales of $7,000, and tell me how far that result is from my target of 35%.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a straightforward, formula-based margin of safety calculation measured against a specific numeric target, without requiring live market data, financial advice, or trade execution. It is ideal for batch financial analysis pipelines, agent-driven accounting checks, or any scenario where you supply your own figures and need a structured JSON result with formula transparency and stated limitations.

## Known failure modes

- actual_sales value of zero or below causes division-by-zero or exclusiveMinimum violation
- break_even_sales exceeds actual_sales resulting in a negative margin of safety
- target value outside the supported numeric range returns a validation error
- missing required values fields returns a schema error
- non-numeric inputs for sales figures cause type validation failure

## How this service works

Margin of safety - Target gap calculation: Measure one calculated value against a supplied numeric target; no recommendation or target setting. Metric: Margin of safety.
