## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability franchisepulse-fdd-analyzer-1bf7b05f
```

Example prompt: Pull the FDD analysis for Chick-fil-A — I want to see the Item 7 initial investment range, Item 19 unit economics like average unit volume, Item 20 unit counts showing how many locations opened and closed last year, and the Item 21 financial statements.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when performing due diligence on a franchise opportunity and needing structured FDD data — especially Item 7 investment costs, Item 19 earnings claims, Item 20 unit health metrics, and Item 21 audited financials — without manually parsing lengthy PDF disclosure documents.

## Known failure modes

- Franchise not found in database — returns 404 or empty result
- FDD data not yet available or outdated for the requested franchise
- Missing or incomplete Item 19 data (not all franchisors disclose unit economics)
- Rate limit or payment failure due to x402 payment not processed
- Invalid franchise identifier provided

## 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 covering Item 7 (initial investment cost ranges), Item 19 (unit-level financial performance and average unit volume), Item 20 (historical unit counts including openings, closures, and transfers), and Item 21 (audited financial statements of the franchisor).
