## 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-profit-before-and-after-comparison-calculator-b9bc7e98 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Compare our operating profit before and after a cost reduction: before we had revenue of 10,000, cost of sales 6,000, and operating expenses 2,000; after we have revenue of 11,000, cost of sales 6,600, and operating expenses 2,200 — show me the absolute and relative change.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, formula-backed comparison of operating profit between exactly two discrete states (e.g., two reporting periods, two scenarios) and want both absolute and relative changes returned in a machine-readable JSON format. It is ideal for automated financial reporting pipelines, scenario modeling, or agent workflows that need to surface operating profit deltas without connecting to live data feeds. Prefer alternatives if you need live financial data, multi-period trend analysis, or advice beyond the raw calculation.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (revenue, cost_of_sales, or operating_expenses) in either before or after object returns a validation error
- Values outside the allowed range (-1,000,000,000,000 to 1,000,000,000,000) are rejected
- Relative change may be flagged as ineligible or undefined when the before operating profit is zero or negative
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance prevents the call from completing
- Inconsistent currency or period between before/after inputs will produce mathematically valid but contextually misleading results

## How this service works

Operating profit - Before and after comparison: Compare two supplied records, reporting absolute and eligible relative changes. Metric: Operating profit. 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 before and after comparison report.

## Output

A JSON response containing the calculated operating profit for both the before and after periods, the absolute change in operating profit, the relative (percentage) change where eligible, the formula used, the currency/units applied, and any relevant limitations of the calculation.
