## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent or small business owner needs a structured, reusable decision framework to evaluate automation candidates — particularly for small business contexts in trades or service industries. Prefer this over general LLM reasoning when you want a consistent, versioned rule set rather than ad-hoc advice.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing pack_id returns an error or empty response
- Endpoint returns HTTP 402 if payment is not completed via x402 protocol
- Stale or mismatched version if the rule set has been updated without cache invalidation
- Network timeout if the nwb-vending.com host is unreachable
