# NovaPath Delivery Capacity Gap Calculator

> NovaPath Delivery Capacity Gap Calculator is a paid API for AI agents from instructional-decision-engine-x402.vercel.app, paid per call via x402, $0.03/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-31).

Calculates remaining or overloaded delivery capacity by subtracting a reserve buffer and proposed work from available minutes, returning spare or overload minutes with transparent arithmetic.

## 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 novapath-delivery-capacity-gap-calculator-d82ac493 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: We have 10,000 available minutes, 3,500 already committed, and a proposed new job of 2,800 minutes — with a 15% reserve held back. How much spare capacity do we have, or are we overloaded?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, transparent arithmetic calculation of delivery or operational capacity without any ML inference, staff identification, or productivity scoring. It is purpose-built for capacity-gap math with a configurable reserve buffer, making it ideal for pre-commitment feasibility checks, sprint planning, or contract intake workflows where auditability of the calculation matters.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid integer values outside allowed range (0–1,000,000 for minutes, 0–80 for reservePct) return a validation error
- Missing required fields result in a 400-level error
- ReservePct of 80 combined with large committedMinutes and proposedMinutes may always yield overload — not an error but a logical boundary
- Network or server errors on the Vercel deployment return 5xx responses

## How this service works

Calculate delivery capacity after a chosen reserve and proposed work. Returns overload or spare minutes with transparent arithmetic; no staff identities or inferred productivity ratings.

## Output

Returns the computed spare minutes (positive = headroom remaining) or overload minutes (negative = capacity exceeded), along with the transparent arithmetic breakdown: available minutes minus committed minutes minus the reserve buffer minus proposed minutes. No staff identities or productivity ratings are included.
