## 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-us-wage-pressure-intelligence-7452fe03
```

Example prompt: Give me the latest Edge Agents report on US wage pressure — I need the confidence level, key evidence, and any noted contradictions so I can factor labor cost risk into our Q3 pricing strategy.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a sourced, signed, decision-ready briefing on US wage pressure specifically — with explicit confidence scoring, contradiction flagging, and provenance — rather than a raw data feed or general economic news. It is best suited for autonomous agents or business leaders who need bounded, verifiable macro intelligence they can act on or present to stakeholders, and who require a paper trail (signed provenance, stated limitations) rather than an LLM-inferred summary.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not processed — HTTP 402 returned if USDC payment via x402 protocol is not included or is insufficient
- Data temporarily unavailable — dataStatus field may indicate incomplete if live sources are unreachable
- Stale evidence — generatedAt timestamp may lag real-time events; limitations array explicitly states coverage gaps
- Schema mismatch — clients expecting schema version 1.x may fail to parse version 2.0 response fields
- No evidence assets — evidence.assets array may be empty if no qualifying sources were available at report time

## How this service works

Direct BLS private average-hourly-earnings level with monthly and year-over-year wage growth. Purpose: Measure US wage-growth pressure as a labour and inflation input using direct BLS data. 6-hour freshness target; missing evidence is reported explicitly rather than invented.

## Output

A structured JSON report containing: a quality status (e.g. 'strong') and confidence level (e.g. 'high'), a macro family classification with intent tags (evidence, inflation, labour, growth), a plain-language summary of current US wage pressure findings, a list of evidence assets and their sourcing policy, a signed provenance object with issuer URL, a generatedAt timestamp, a schema version, stated limitations on coverage and source freshness, and a disclaimer clarifying the report is general market research rather than investment advice.
