## 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 clink-lithium-vault-fly-dev-85cda0a0
```

Example prompt: Give me a cited narrative report on Albemarle (ticker ALB) as a company — I want readable prose covering their production, AISC, cash, and reserves, with every number traced back to a filing.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need human-readable, prose-form analysis of a lithium company or mine backed by auditable inline citations to primary filings. Prefer this over /vault (raw rows, $0.05) when the consumer needs narrative context rather than structured data, and over /vault/summary ($0.02) when depth, citation traceability, and explanatory synthesis matter more than cost efficiency.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown ticker or mine name returns 404 or empty result
- Entity not in the 40-operator / 49-mine corpus returns no data
- Payment of $0.20 USDC not attached or rejected triggers 402 error
- Ambiguous entity name without level parameter causes routing failure
- Claude generation timeout returns 503 or partial response

## How this service works

Lithium Research Vault - cited narrative on any lithium mining company or mine, written only from primary-source vault data. Covers spodumene and brine producers across hardrock and brine cost curves: production, AISC, reserves, ownership, offtakes. Every sentence carries an inline citation resolving to a SEC/ASX/TSX filing URL. 40 operators and 49 mines incl. Greenbushes, Pilgangoora, Kings Mountain; tickers SGML, ALB, ATUSF. Same corpus as /vault ($0.05) and /vault/summary ($0.02).

## Output

A Claude Haiku 4.5-generated multi-paragraph narrative about the queried lithium company or mine, where every numeric or factual sentence includes an inline citation tag like [table:ticker:period:field] that resolves to a primary-source filing URL in the response's citations array. Covers production volumes, AISC, realized prices, cash/debt/EBITDA/FCF, and reserves, FX-normalized to USD.
