# CareerPulse Wage Demand Letter Preview

> CareerPulse Wage Demand Letter Preview is a paid API for AI agents from careerpulse.theaslangroupllc.com, paid per call via x402, $0.25/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-16).

Runs a deterministic wage-recovery computation and returns a structured preview (findings, supportability verdict, document outline, statutes, escalation path) of what a formal wage demand letter would contain — without drafting the actual letter text.

## 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 careerpulse-wage-demand-letter-preview-c8e4ba2e
```

Example prompt: Can you preview the wage demand letter for my situation — I worked 52 hours a week for 6 weeks at $15/hour in Texas and was never paid overtime, so I want to know if a letter is supportable and what statutes and document sections it would cite?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent or user wants to assess the viability and structure of a wage demand letter before committing to the $2 full letter generation. Ideal for triage, pre-qualification, or explaining to a worker what their claim looks like legally. Prefer over the full letter endpoint when cost sensitivity matters, when verifying inputs are correct, or when the agent needs structured outline data rather than full prose.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required inputs (employer state/jurisdiction, hours, pay rate) — returns validation error
- Jurisdiction not covered by engine — returns unsupported state error
- Inputs outside plausible range (e.g. negative hours) — returns parameter validation error
- Payment not processed — returns 402 Payment Required
- Claim inputs do not meet threshold for letter supportability — returns letter_supportable: false with reasoning

## How this service works

Agent-tier preview of the $2 wage demand letter — runs the same deterministic wage-recovery engine, returns the full computed finding plus a letter_supportable verdict and a structured outline (document sections, statutes cited for THESE inputs, escalation path) of exactly what the $2 letter would contain. No LLM; no drafted letter text.

## Output

Returns the full deterministic wage-recovery computation including: a letter_supportable boolean verdict, computed unpaid wage findings, a structured outline of document sections the full letter would contain, specific statutes (FLSA + applicable state law) cited for these exact inputs, and a recommended escalation path — all without drafted letter prose.
