## 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 halowerk-persona-eval-synthetic-persona-critique-via-groq-64dba07a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Simulate how a climate-conscious Gen-Z buyer in Berlin would react to this product description — goal is purchase consideration, respond in German: 'Our new reusable coffee cup is made from 100% ocean plastic and keeps drinks hot for 8 hours.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, structured qualitative simulation of how a specific target persona might respond to product copy, an offer, or a concept — particularly useful for early-stage copy testing, hypothesis validation, or pre-research screening before investing in real user studies. Prefer this over general LLM prompting when you want a consistent persona-critique format with explicit assumption disclosure and stereotype safeguards. Not a substitute for real user research or A/B testing data.

## Known failure modes

- Content or persona description too short (below minLength) — returns validation error
- Content exceeds 12,000 character limit — request rejected
- Persona description triggers sensitive-trait stereotyping guardrails — response may be refused or heavily caveated
- Groq API unavailability — upstream error propagated
- Unsupported language code — may default or fail
- Ambiguous goal field — critique may be too generic to be useful

## How this service works

Runs a structured synthetic-persona critique through Groq using the configured model. The persona is treated as a hypothesis, never as a factual claim about every member of a demographic group; the response must state its assumptions and avoid sensitive-trait stereotyping. Input leaves this server for Groq and is not stored by HALOWERK. This is qualitative simulation, not user research, survey evidence or proof of conversion impact.

## Output

A structured qualitative critique written from the simulated persona's perspective, including stated assumptions about the persona, observations on how the content aligns or conflicts with the persona's likely motivations, concerns, or values, and an assessment against the specified goal (e.g. purchase consideration). The response explicitly flags its hypothetical nature and avoids stereotype-based sensitive-trait claims.
