## 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 packaging-cost-per-shipped-order-before-and-after-comparison-81f091f1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you compare my packaging cost per shipped order before and after we switched suppliers? Before: $120 packaging spend across 40 shipped orders. After: $132 packaging spend across 44 shipped orders.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, low-cost ($0.01 USDC) structured comparison of packaging cost efficiency per shipped order across exactly two periods using your own supplied retail figures. It is ideal for evaluating the impact of packaging changes, supplier switches, or cost optimization programs. Do not use it if you need live carrier rates, real-time order data, multi-period trend analysis, or access to any external platform.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (packaging_spend or shipped_orders) for either before or after period returns a validation error
- shipped_orders value of zero causes division error or rejection (exclusiveMinimum enforced)
- Values exceeding the maximum threshold (1 trillion) are rejected
- Non-numeric inputs for spend or order counts fail schema validation
- Exceeding the 200-record report bound may result in truncation or error
