## 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 expansion-402box-io-15e95cab -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I'm planning to expand my B2B SaaS HR platform into Southeast Asia — can you analyze which countries are the best targets, size the market opportunity, map out the key competitors, flag regulatory hurdles like data residency laws, and outline what local partnerships I'd need to get traction?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, AI-generated strategic analysis of international market entry — particularly when you need simultaneous coverage of market sizing, competitive dynamics, regulatory context, and partnership needs in a single response. Prefer this over generic LLM prompting when you want a specialized expansion-focused agent, or over a regulatory-only endpoint when you need the full strategic picture.

## Known failure modes

- Vague or underspecified message prompt yields generic advice without actionable country-specific insights
- Missing industry context causes the model to make broad assumptions that may not apply
- Overly broad geographic scope (e.g. 'all of Asia') may produce shallow analysis across too many markets
- Model may have knowledge cutoff limitations for very recent regulatory changes
- Success:false returned if the upstream Gemini Pro agent is unavailable or rate-limited
