## 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 clinkagent-lithium-vault-verdict-4f51d8ab
```

Example prompt: Give me a full due-diligence verdict on Piedmont Lithium at the company level — cost-curve position vs peers, balance-sheet survival rank, permitting stage, and key risks, all pulled from their SEC filings.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, filing-sourced due-diligence verdict on a specific lithium company or mine — combining cost-curve ranking, balance-sheet assessment, permitting stage, and risk summary in a single call. Prefer /vault/summary ($0.02) for a lighter snapshot or /vault/comparables ($0.20) for deeper peer comparison tables. Best suited for battery-metals research, investment screening workflows, or when an agent needs a structured, plain-language assessment grounded in regulatory filings rather than raw data.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown ticker or mine name returns an error or empty result
- Entity not in tracked universe returns no comparable data
- Level parameter mismatch (e.g. using mine name with level=company) may return incomplete data
- SEC/ASX/TSX filing data not yet ingested for very new or obscure entities
- Rate limiting or payment failure for $0.05 USDC per call

## How this service works

Lithium company or mine, one cited plain-language read: cost-curve position vs the tracked universe, balance-sheet survival rank, permitting/development stage, key risks and strengths, data gaps - facts from SEC/ASX/TSX filings, no investment advice. Lithium mining research, battery metals due diligence, spodumene/brine producers. ?entity=<TICKER|MineName>&level=<company|mine>. Underlying data: /vault/summary $0.02, /vault/comparables $0.20.

## Output

A plain-language research note covering: cost-curve position relative to tracked peers, balance-sheet survival rank, permitting/development stage, key risks, key strengths, identified data gaps, and sourcing from SEC/ASX/TSX filings — no investment advice included.
