## 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 hubvibe-company-research-brief-07ddc567 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull together a research brief on Notion Labs — what they do, their main products, and anything notable — pulling from up to 4 live web sources and citing them?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a sourced, narrative company overview drawn from live web content rather than a static database. It is especially valuable when you need transparency about evidence quality — the endpoint explicitly flags thin or conflicting information rather than presenting uncertain facts as settled. Prefer it over generic web search when you want a synthesized brief with numbered citations rather than raw search results.

## Known failure modes

- Company name too generic or ambiguous — may return results for wrong entity
- Insufficient live web coverage for obscure companies — brief may note thin evidence
- max_sources out of range (not 1-4) — may default or error
- Network/crawl failures for live sources — partial or no results returned
- Conflicting web sources may reduce confidence in specific claims

## How this service works

Company research report: what a company does, its products and anything notable, from the live web (official site and Wikipedia first) and recent GDELT news, every claim cited to a numbered source, thin or conflicting evidence disclosed. Use it for due diligence, sales prep and competitor research. Input: company name; optional max_sources. Structured firmographics in one cheap call: company.enrich.

## Output

A written research brief covering the company's business description, products/services, and notable facts or news, with inline citations referencing numbered sources. Thin or conflicting evidence is explicitly flagged rather than smoothed over.
