## 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 disruption-intelligence-ripple-api-sector-impacts-7aa24c9c
```

Example prompt: Pull the sector impact paths for disruption signal ID 'warn-2024-tx-00412' — I want to see which business sectors and procurement spend areas are likely affected downstream, along with confidence levels.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a specific disruption signal ID and need to understand which downstream business sectors, procurement categories, and buyer types are likely affected. Ideal for B2B sales teams, procurement analysts, or supply chain risk managers who want to prioritize outreach or monitor vendor exposure after a WARN filing or regional labor event. Prefer this over generic economic news APIs when you need structured, sector-level impact paths with confidence scoring tied to a specific signal.

## Known failure modes

- Signal ID not found — returns empty or 404-equivalent response
- Stale or unprocessed signal — impact_count may be 0 with no sector impacts listed
- Low confidence impacts — all sectors returned with 'low' confidence, limiting actionability
- Payment failure — x402 USDC payment on Base not completed, request blocked
- Malformed signal ID format — API may return error or null result
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion — repeated calls blocked until payment resolved

## How this service works

Paid layoff risk and WARN filing intelligence via x402. Company risk scores, ripple effects, and geographic disruption data.

## Output

A JSON object containing the signal ID, a count of downstream impact paths, a list of business sector impacts each with sector name, buyer use cases, confidence level, spend area, and a plain-language explanation of the impact path, plus caveats about inference vs. confirmed intent.
