## 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 operating-margin-target-gap-calculator-00ff90b4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: My company had revenue of $5,000,000 and operating profit of $750,000 last quarter — can you calculate our operating margin and tell me how far we are from our target of 20?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single, bounded operating margin calculation benchmarked against a specific numeric target — especially useful for finance agents that need formula transparency, units, and limitation disclosures in a structured JSON response. Prefer this over general LLM math when auditability and schema-structured output are required, and when you do not need live financial data, trade execution, or advisory recommendations.

## Known failure modes

- Revenue value of zero or missing causes division error or validation failure
- Operating profit or revenue outside allowed numeric range triggers schema validation error
- Missing required fields (revenue or operating_profit) returns an error response
- Target value outside the allowed range may be rejected
- Malformed request body returns a 400-level error

## How this service works

Operating margin - Target gap calculation: Measure one calculated value against a supplied numeric target; no recommendation or target setting. Metric: Operating margin. Supplied figures only; returns JSON with formula, units and limitations. One of 50 calculators with 20 analysis modes. No live feed, financial advice or trade execution. 0.01 USDC includes one bounded target gap calculation report.

## Output

A JSON object containing the computed operating margin (as a percentage), the numeric gap between the computed margin and the supplied target, the formula used, the units, and a note on limitations of the calculation.
