## 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 mining-simple-cash-payback-target-gap-calculator-598e5a48 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I invested $5,000 in a mining rig and it earns $15 net per day — calculate the target gap for a payback target of $5,000 so I can see how close I am to breaking even.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, formula-based calculation of the gap between a mining operation's projected simple cash payback and a specific numeric target, using only your own supplied assumptions. It is ideal for pre-investment analysis, milestone tracking, or sensitivity checks where live market data is not required and a bounded single-report output is sufficient.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (investment_usd or net_daily_usd) returns a validation error
- net_daily_usd or investment_usd set to zero or negative — rejected by schema exclusiveMinimum constraint
- Target value outside the allowed range may be rejected
- Malformed JSON body returns a 400-level error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance prevents report generation
