## 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 buy-signal-portugal-company-funding-purchase-intent-intelligence-e220f4e1
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the buy signal for Portuguese company NIF 500123456 and tell me what they're likely purchasing based on their Portugal 2030 funded projects?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need purchase intent signals specifically derived from Portugal 2030 EU-funded project data for a Portuguese company identified by its NIF/NIPC. It is the right choice when you want to identify commercial opportunities or qualify sales leads in the Portuguese market based on publicly funded project activity, rather than general company financial data or broader European funding databases.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid NIF format (not 9 digits) returns a validation error
- NIF not found in Portugal 2030 dataset returns empty signals array with count 0
- Service unavailable on free Render hosting tier causes timeout or 503
- Stale data if Portugal 2030 source has not been recently crawled — freshness metadata will indicate age
- Commercial assessment may return UNKNOWN if insufficient data exists for the company

## How this service works

Given a Portuguese company NIF/NIPC, return official Portugal 2030 EU-funded project facts and evidence-based inferred investment and purchasing categories for company intelligence, sales research and procurement opportunity screening. Includes funding, rule-based confidence, provenance, snapshot freshness and a conservative commercial-opportunity assessment. Not confirmed purchase intent, open tenders, remaining budgets or live procurement needs.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: the company NIF and name, an array of buy signals each with official project facts (source text, provenance, reporting date), a signal object (funding details, scheduled dates, heuristic score and strength), rule-based purchase inference categories with matched terms and confidence ratings, a commercial assessment (commercial usefulness enum and current purchase opportunity), and freshness metadata including snapshot hashes and validation time.
