## 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 nameintel-basic-name-score-74cf5bd0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Score the name 'Lumora' for me — check it against .com and .io TLDs, the platforms Twitter and Instagram, and Nice class 35 for business services.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, low-cost name quality score and do not need geographic suitability or AI/LLM findability signals. It is ideal for quickly filtering a shortlist of candidate names by core brand strength before running more expensive full or GEO scoring. Choose the sibling 'Full name score' endpoint when you want all signals in one call.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing name field returns validation error
- Name exceeding 100 characters is rejected
- Invalid Nice class strings may return an error or be ignored
- Unrecognized platform identifiers may be silently dropped
- Payment failure via x402 returns 402 with payment details

## Output
