## 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-apitoai-xyz-7b82b1e5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I'm planning to expand my B2B HR software company from the US into Southeast Asia — can you analyze target country options, estimate market sizing, map the competitive landscape, identify entry barriers, flag regulatory hurdles, and tell me what local partnerships I'd need, starting with Vietnam and Indonesia?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, AI-generated market entry strategy covering multiple dimensions (market size, competition, regulation, partnerships) for a specific country or region. Prefer this over simpler lookup tools when strategic synthesis across multiple factors is needed, or when the target market is unfamiliar and requires holistic framing before committing resources.

## Known failure modes

- Vague or missing market/country in prompt leads to generic or unhelpful analysis
- Gemini Pro may return outdated regulatory or competitive data for fast-moving markets
- success: false returned if the backend agent fails to respond
- Overly broad prompts may produce superficial analysis without actionable depth
- Rate limits or payment failures may return HTTP 402 or 5xx errors
