# Quick Ratio Sequential Input-Change Attribution (Waterfall)

> Quick Ratio Sequential Input-Change Attribution (Waterfall) is a paid API for AI agents from market.datapackvibe.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-22).

Performs a sequential waterfall attribution analysis on the Quick Ratio metric, showing how each input change (cash, receivables, marketable securities, current liabilities) contributed to the overall change from a baseline to a final period.

## 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 quick-ratio-sequential-input-change-attribution-waterfall-a91c094d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Run a sequential waterfall attribution on our quick ratio: last quarter we had cash of 5000, receivables of 8000, marketable securities of 2000, and current liabilities of 10000; this quarter cash is 5500, receivables are 8800, marketable securities are 2200, and current liabilities are 11000 — show me how each input change drove the overall shift in our quick ratio, in field order.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to understand the incremental, ordered contribution of each balance sheet input to a change in Quick Ratio — especially useful for CFO reporting, investor explanations, or variance analysis where the sequence of changes matters. Prefer this over a simple Quick Ratio calculator when you want a waterfall decomposition rather than a point-in-time value, and over average-of-paths (Shapley) attribution when declared field order is the desired attribution convention.

## Known failure modes

- current_liabilities of 0 or missing will cause a division-by-zero error (exclusiveMinimum enforced)
- Values exceeding 1,000,000,000,000 will be rejected by schema validation
- Missing required fields (cash, receivables, marketable_securities, current_liabilities) in before or after objects will result in a validation error
- Non-numeric inputs will fail schema validation
- No live data feed — results depend entirely on user-supplied figures; garbage-in garbage-out

## How this service works

Quick ratio - Sequential input-change attribution: Change each input from baseline to final in declared field order, reporting each incremental effect; order dependent. Metric: Quick ratio. 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 sequential input-change attribution report.

## Output

A JSON response containing a step-by-step waterfall table showing the incremental effect on the Quick Ratio as each input (cash, marketable securities, receivables, current liabilities) is changed from its baseline to final value in declared field order, along with the starting and ending Quick Ratio values, the formula used, currency/unit notes, and a limitations disclaimer.
