## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability franchisepulse-franchise-comparison-d5340b07
```

Example prompt: Compare a Chick-fil-A franchise versus a Subway franchise for me and give me a decisive recommendation on which one is the better investment opportunity.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user needs to decide between two or more specific franchise brands and wants a structured, decisive recommendation rather than raw data. Prefer this over the discovery or FDD analysis endpoints when the user has already identified candidate franchises and needs a head-to-head evaluation to make a final investment decision.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unrecognized franchise brand names return an error or empty result
- Insufficient data available for one or both franchises leads to incomplete comparison
- Missing required franchise identifiers results in a 400 bad request
- Payment not processed (x402) results in 402 Payment Required before data is returned
- Comparing more franchises than supported limit may return an error
