Returns platform-wide cost vs revenue for the trailing window.

totals reports ACTUALS ONLY (2026-07-16 revenue-accuracy fix — modeled numbers must never masquerade as actuals):

Cost = sum(render_jobs.cost_micros) for completed jobs in window Revenue = settled embedder_revenue_events rollup (money that actually credited an embedder balance) + settled x402 receipts (x402_payments), both on the same window Margin = Revenue - Cost

plays.ad_revenue_micros is deliberately NOT read here: the column has no writer anywhere, so summing it always yields $0 — real ad / affiliate money lands in embedder_revenue_events.

The modeled Plus-ARPU projection (plus_listens × the $0.05 plus_subscriber benchmark) lives under assumptions.modeled.plus_arpu_usd and is EXCLUDED from totals.total_revenue_usd / totals.margin_usd. Field names are kept for FE compatibility; only the semantics were corrected (pre-fix responses summed the modeled term into both totals and read ad revenue from the always-zero plays column).

Per-publisher breakdown shows cost-per-publisher so the operator can see which publishers cost the most to render. Forward-looking projections use app.economics.REVENUE_DEFAULTS_MICROS_PER_LISTEN as the unit value and live under assumptions.
