## 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 oracles-prospect-search-buying-trigger-company-prospecting-8494c5be
```

Example prompt: Find me companies in the healthcare sector that recently went through an M&A event — I want a ranked list with a reason why I should reach out to each one right now.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to identify companies with a live, event-driven reason to buy — specifically when you want to prioritize outreach based on real-world trigger events like leadership changes, funding rounds, M&A, contract awards, or cyber incidents. Prefer this over static firmographic lookups when timing and urgency matter for GTM or sales motions. Best for sales agents, GTM automation, and account-based marketing pipelines that need PII-free company-level signals before resolving contacts via separate tools.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'trigger' query parameter returns a validation error
- Unknown or unsupported trigger type may return an empty findings array
- Invalid sector value may return no results or a 400 error
- 'since' timestamp in wrong format may be rejected or ignored
- Service may return empty results if no companies match the trigger in the given window
- Payment of 0.5 USDC required per call; unpaid requests return 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting or upstream data source delays may cause slow or partial responses

## How this service works

PREMIUM prospecting query: pass ?trigger=<type>&sector=<>&since= and get a ranked list of COMPANIES that just had that buying-trigger (new exec, M&A, funding, new contract, contract award, cyber incident, recall…), each with a concrete 'why reach out now' and a timing window. The pipeline-builder for sales/GTM agents — find accounts with a live reason to buy. PII-free: company + CIK; resolve contacts via your own tool.

## Output

A ranked array of company records, each containing the company name and CIK, the specific buying-trigger event that occurred, a concrete 'why reach out now' rationale, and a timing window indicating urgency. The response also includes a generatedBy field indicating whether the output was LLM-generated or template-based, and an overallVerdict summary. No PII is included; contact resolution must be done separately.
