## 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 bizintel-cost-of-living-comparison-3d2717f2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Compare the cost of living between Austin, Texas and San Francisco, California — I need a normalized index score to figure out how much to adjust a candidate's salary offer if they're relocating.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, pay-per-call cost-of-living index between two specific locations for talent compensation benchmarking, relocation planning, or remote work salary normalization — especially when you want a numeric index rather than raw cost breakdowns. Prefer this over manual research or general data APIs when you need structured, confidence-rated output with no API key setup required.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported city or region pair returns supported: false with empty comparison_index
- Ambiguous city names without country context may return low confidence or warnings
- Misspelled or unrecognized locations may return errors or null data
- Stale data may be flagged via warnings array with a past data_as_of date
- Payment failure via x402 results in 402 response before data is returned

## How this service works

Compares cost of living, pricing indices, and safety metrics between two cities via Teleport.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a numeric comparison_index (e.g. 0.85 indicating the destination is 85% the cost of the origin), a confidence level (e.g. 'high'), a supported boolean indicating whether the location pair is covered, a data_as_of date string, any warnings, and a standard disclaimer about informational use only.
