## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs quantitative statistical data on a topic for fact-checking, academic citation, or research substantiation. It is especially useful when the user wants numbers, rates, or data summaries rather than raw papers or full journal articles. Prefer it over general web search when verifiable, structured statistical output is needed for a specific topic.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'topic' field returns a 400 validation error
- Overly broad or ambiguous topic may return generic or low-confidence statistics
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) results in a 402 response and no data returned
- Unsupported or extremely niche topics may return empty or null statistics
- Network timeout on the orbonomy.xyz host returns a connection error
