## How to call it through Zero

Example prompt: I just got a job offer for a Senior Product Manager role at a fintech company paying $130,000, but my target is $155,000 — give me a counter-offer strategy and the exact scripts I should use to negotiate them up without risking the offer.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a job seeker or career-coach agent needs not just general negotiation advice but specific, ready-to-use counter-offer scripts tailored to a particular role, offer amount, and target salary. It is most valuable after an offer has been received and the user needs an immediately actionable playbook rather than general career guidance.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required inputs such as offer amount or job title may return a generic or incomplete playbook
- Edge cases like equity-only offers or government positions with fixed pay bands may not be handled well
- If the offer details are vague, the scripts returned may be too generic to be actionable
- Rate limiting or payment failure at $0.10 USDC per call may result in 402 errors
