## 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 net-margin-target-gap-calculator-e0a7a460 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: My company had revenue of $10,000 and net profit of $1,500 last quarter — can you calculate the gap between my actual net margin and my target of 25%?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a specific numeric net margin target and want a bounded, formula-transparent gap report for a single period — not when you need recommendations, benchmarks, or live financial data. It is purpose-built for net margin specifically; use sibling endpoints for other metrics such as gross margin or days sales outstanding.

## Known failure modes

- Revenue of zero or negative is rejected (exclusiveMinimum:0 constraint)
- Missing required fields (revenue or net_profit) returns a validation error
- Target value outside the allowed numeric range causes a rejection
- Supplying non-numeric values for financial figures returns a schema error

No live feed, financial advice or trade execution. 0.01 USDC includes one bounded target gap calculation report.

## Output

A JSON object containing the calculated net margin (as a percentage of revenue), the arithmetic gap between that margin and the supplied target, the formula used, the units, and any stated limitations of the calculation.
