# Benchmark Tradeoff At Scale Route

GET https://app.termina.ai/api/v1/group/{group_id}/deal/{deal_id}/data/benchmark/tradeoff-at-scale/{category}

Get tradeoff models for a specific category at a given revenue scale.

Tradeoff models show the relationship between two metrics (e.g., growth vs. margin)
for companies at a similar revenue scale.

Reference: https://docs.termina.ai/api-reference/data/benchmark/get-tradeoff-at-scale

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Bearer authentication of the form `Bearer <token>`, where token is your auth token.

## Servers

- `https://app.termina.ai` (Production server, default)
- `https://app.termina.dev` (Development server)
- `http://localhost:8000` (Local development server)

## Request

### Path parameters

- `group_id` (integer, required)
- `deal_id` (integer, required)
- `category` (string, required)

### Query parameters

- `revenue` (double, required) — Annualized revenue scale for which to obtain benchmarks
- `model` (list of string, optional, nullable)

## Response

### 200

Successful Response

- `map from string to TradeoffModel`

## Errors

### 422 Unprocessable Entity Error

Validation Error

- `detail` (list of ValidationError, optional)

## Types

### TradeoffModel

- `scale` (Scale, required) — Describes the revenue range of the data whose points represent the trade off.
- `raw_data` (list of map from string to double, required) — Raw data points used to generate the tradeoff model. Each dictionary contains exactly two key-value pairs representing the x-metric and y-metric being compared. The keys are dynamic metric names that vary by model - for example, '12m_growth_vs_margin' uses 'quarterly_operating_margin' (x) and 'cmgr12' (y). Use the /data/benchmark/metadata/models endpoint to see which columns each model uses.
- `discarded_raw_data` (list of map from string to double, required) — Additional raw data points which were not used in the model fit due to outlier status. Contains the same metric keys as raw_data. These points were excluded to prevent skewing the tradeoff distribution.
- `areas` (list of Area, required) — Areas representing the confidence regions of the tradeoff model. The x-y coordinates describe an elliptical surface containing (1 - alpha) share of the data points, showing the typical tradeoff distribution at this revenue scale.

### ValidationError

- `loc` (list of ValidationErrorLocItems, required)
- `msg` (string, required)
- `type` (string, required)
- `input` (any, optional)
- `ctx` (ValidationErrorCtx, optional)

### Scale

- `metric` (string, required) — The metric whose scale is used to subset the benchmark data.
- `low` (double, required) — Low end of the scale.
- `high` (double, required) — High end of the scale.

### Area

- `alpha` (double, required) — Quantile significance level for the area, which represents the share of data points expected to lie beyond the band.
- `x` (list of double, required) — List of x values for the area.
- `y` (list of double, required) — List of y values for the area.
