# Intelica Batch Competitive Intelligence

> Intelica Batch Competitive Intelligence is a paid API for AI agents from api.intelica.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.2/call, status down (last checked 2026-09-15).

Analyzes competitive landscapes and returns a moat index, competitor list, decision recommendation, and execution plan for strategic market entry or positioning decisions.

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 intelica-batch-competitive-intelligence-0a0c6d15 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Run a competitive intelligence analysis on the Southeast Asia payments market — I'm seeing Stripe, Adyen, and 2C2P as competitors, and I want to know if we should enter or avoid with a confidence score and a week-one execution plan.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a structured, scored competitive assessment with a concrete strategic recommendation and execution roadmap — especially when you already have some competitor signals and want a normalized moat index and budget-aware action plan. Prefer this over generic web search or manual research when you need machine-readable strategic outputs (action enum, confidence score, risk level) that can feed downstream decision automation.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or malformed decision_recommendation object causes validation failure
- confidence_score or intelica_moat_index outside 0–1 range triggers schema rejection
- Invalid action enum value (not one of enter/avoid/monitor/acquire/partner) returns 400
- Payment not processed or x402 authorization failure results in 402 response
- Empty or null detected_competitors array may produce low-confidence output with minimal actionable guidance

## How this service works

Competitive intelligence API — pay-per-call via x402

## Output

Returns a structured JSON object containing the Intelica Moat Index (0–1 float indicating competitive barrier strength), a list of detected competitors, a decision recommendation with action (enter/avoid/monitor/acquire/partner), risk level (low/medium/high), confidence score, and rationale, plus an execution plan with weekly actions and phase-based budget guidance in USD.
