# Return Processing Cost Per Case – Named Scenario Comparison

> Return Processing Cost Per Case – Named Scenario Comparison is a paid API for AI agents from market.datapackvibe.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-21).

Compares named what-if scenarios for return processing cost per case using supplied retail labour, postage, and other cost figures against a baseline.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 return-processing-cost-per-case-named-scenario-comparison-61e9a265 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Run a named scenario comparison for return processing cost per case — baseline is 10 processed returns with £100 labour, £50 postage, and £20 other costs. Compare two scenarios: 'Higher Labour' with labour cost bumped to £130, and 'Cheaper Postage' with postage dropped to £35.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to compare multiple explicitly named what-if configurations for retail return processing cost per case side-by-side, rather than a single calculation, rolling trend, or grid sweep. It is purpose-built for scenario planning with labelled alternatives (e.g. 'Automation Savings' vs 'Volume Scale') using only user-supplied figures — no live rate feeds or platform dependencies. Prefer it over adjacent-period or trend endpoints when the goal is discrete named scenario comparison rather than time-series analysis.

## Known failure modes

- processed_returns must be greater than 0 (exclusiveMinimum enforced) — returns a validation error if zero or negative
- scenarios array must contain 1–20 items — too many or too few scenarios returns a schema error
- each scenario must include a label (1–80 chars) and at least one override field — missing fields cause rejection
- cost values must be non-negative numbers within the maximum bound — out-of-range values fail validation
- missing required baseline fields (labour_cost, postage_cost, other_cost, processed_returns) cause a 400-style error

## How this service works

Return processing cost per case - Named scenario comparison: Named scenario comparison for Return processing cost per case. Supplied retail figures only, up to 200 records. No platform access, live rates or order execution. One of 25 new profiles across 20 shared operations in this industry. 0.01 USDC includes one bounded named scenario comparison report.

## Output
