## 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 lookthrough-company-background-reports-8d7e99fc -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull a full background report on Acme Technologies Ltd in the UK — I need their registry profile, officers, ownership structure, any charges, and a sanctions and adverse-media screen?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need an authoritative, multi-dimensional company background report drawn from official public registry data — especially for KYB compliance, supplier due diligence, sanctions screening, or corporate investigation. It covers 12 countries and combines registry, officer, ownership, charges, sanctions, and adverse-media signals in a single $3 USDC call with a free coverage check step first.

## Known failure modes

- Company name not found in the selected country registry — returns no candidates or empty candidate list
- Country not supported — only 12 ISO country codes accepted; unsupported country returns validation error
- Invalid or expired order ID — returns error when paying or retrieving report for a non-existent order
- Payment not received or payment signature invalid — 402 not satisfied, report not delivered
- Ambiguous company name matching multiple candidates — requires user to select correct candidate index
