## 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 edge-agents-deal-downside-scenario-engine-28754ceb
```

Example prompt: Run a downside scenario analysis on the proposed acquisition of TechCorp by MegaFund — I need to understand the cross-market risks, policy headwinds, and worst-case outcomes backed by real evidence before we close.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, evidence-sourced downside scenario modeling for a specific deal, transaction, or investment — particularly where cross-market risk, policy headwinds, or macro factors are relevant. It is preferable over generic LLM reasoning when sourced evidence and signed provenance are required to support due diligence or procurement decisions. Best suited for M&A, VC, institutional investment, or government procurement contexts requiring defensible, auditable risk intelligence rather than ungrounded opinion.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient deal parameters provided — engine may return incomplete or low-confidence analysis
- Evidence sources unavailable for niche or private deals — coverage limitations disclosed in report
- Payment not processed — x402 payment required before response is returned
- Stale or mixed policy signals may reduce confidence score, noted in limitations field
- No deal-specific assets found — evidence assets array may be empty with explanation in limitations

## How this service works

Deal Downside Scenario Engine. Synthesises cross-domain stress evidence into transparent risk transmission, downside and resilience context. Purpose: Surface material risk drivers, transmission paths and invalidation conditions without false precision. 15-minute freshness target; missing evidence is reported explicitly rather than invented.

## Output

Returns a structured JSON report including a quality confidence rating (e.g. strong/high), a cross-market family analysis with identified risk intents, an evidence section with sourced assets and policy stance, a plain-language summary of downside scenarios, provenance metadata with issuer signature, and a disclaimer noting the output is general market research and not investment advice.
