## 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-franchise-vetting-due-diligence-aab80668
```

Example prompt: I'm seriously considering buying a Smoothie King franchise — can you run a full due diligence check on it, including any litigation, how many units have failed, and what franchisees actually say about the brand?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent or user needs a holistic due diligence verdict on a specific franchise brand — combining litigation, failure rates, and franchisee satisfaction in one call. Prefer this over the FDD analysis endpoint (which focuses on Item 7/Item 19 financials) when the primary concern is brand health, legal risk, and franchisee sentiment rather than raw financial projections.

## Known failure modes

- Franchise brand not found in database — returns 404 or empty result
- Ambiguous brand name with multiple matches — may return wrong franchise
- Stale data if franchise FDD has not been recently updated
- Rate limit or payment failure at $0.15 USDC per call via x402
- Partial data if franchise is new and has limited disclosure history

A structured due diligence report containing the franchise's litigation history (lawsuits, settlements, regulatory actions), unit failure/closure rates, franchisee satisfaction metrics, and an overall verdict or risk rating to help the buyer decide whether to proceed.
