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 novapath-compensation-evidence-audit-c09524d8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I have 3 roles to evidence-audit for our compensation review — Role A has JD score 420, PAQ score 390, same scale verified, comparator duties verified, benchmark kind is published_wage_estimate, permitted use approved, hours basis verified; Role B has JD score 610, PAQ score null, same scale not verified, comparator duties not verified, benchmark kind job_posting, permitted use unknown, hours basis not verified; Role C has JD score 280, PAQ score 300, same scale verified, comparator duties verified, benchmark kind licensed_benchmark, permitted use prohibited, hours basis verified — please run a coverage and compliance audit with a review difference threshold of 50 and give me the prioritized review queue.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, prioritized audit of compensation evidence packets across multiple roles — specifically checking JD/PAQ score coverage, benchmark scale consistency, duty alignment, wage-basis validity, and data reuse permissions — before undertaking a broader pay equity or classification analysis. It is not a salary recommender; use it upstream of any compensation decision workflow to identify which evidence packets require remediation.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (jdScore, paqScore, permittedUse, benchmarkKind, sameScaleVerified, hoursBasisVerified, comparatorDutiesVerified) cause validation errors
- Submitting more than 8 roles exceeds the maxItems constraint and is rejected
- Invalid enum values for permittedUse or benchmarkKind cause schema rejection
- reviewDifferenceThreshold outside 0–10000 range is rejected
- Empty roles array (fewer than 1 item) returns an error
- Payment failure (x402) results in no response being returned

## How this service works

Review up to eight role evidence packets for JD/PAQ coverage, comparable scales, duty alignment, wage-basis issues and reuse restrictions. Produces a prioritized review queue, not salary recommendations.

## Output

Returns a prioritized review queue of the submitted role evidence packets, ranked by severity of identified issues such as JD/PAQ coverage gaps, scale mismatches, duty misalignment, wage-basis problems, and reuse restrictions. Does not produce salary recommendations.
