## 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 franchisepulse-fdd-analysis-bda3f8f5
```

Example prompt: Pull the FDD analysis for Subway — I want to see the Item 7 initial investment breakdown, Item 19 earnings claims, Item 20 unit counts showing how many opened and closed last year, and Item 21 financials.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs structured, itemized FDD data for a specific franchise brand — particularly for investment analysis, buyer due diligence, or comparing unit economics across franchises. Prefer this over general franchise search endpoints when the user has already identified a franchise and wants deep financial disclosure data rather than discovery or screening.

## Known failure modes

- Franchise brand not found or FDD not available — returns 404 or empty result
- FDD data not current — may reflect an older FDD filing if the latest has not been ingested
- Item 19 may be absent if the franchisor does not make financial performance representations
- Ambiguous brand name input leads to incorrect franchise match
- Payment failure (402) if x402 payment header is not properly submitted

## How this service works

FDD analysis for franchise-buyer and due-diligence agents. Breaks down Item 7 (investment), Item 19 (unit economics), Item 20 (unit counts), and Item 21 (financials).

## Output

Returns structured data extracted from the franchise's FDD including: Item 7 (estimated initial investment ranges by cost category), Item 19 (unit-level financial performance representations such as average revenues and margins), Item 20 (unit count tables showing openings, closures, and transfers by year), and Item 21 (audited financial statements of the franchisor).
