# OT/ICS Vendor-Swap Risk Delta Comparison

> OT/ICS Vendor-Swap Risk Delta Comparison is a paid API for AI agents from ot-intel-api.onrender.com, paid per call via x402, $0.2/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Compares cybersecurity risk tiers between a current and proposed OT/ICS vendor, returning a risk-tier delta and per-vendor summaries to support pre-purchase or migration decisions.

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 ot-ics-vendor-swap-risk-delta-comparison-64880a80
```

Example prompt: Compare the cybersecurity risk of switching our OT systems from Siemens SIMATIC to Schneider Electric Modicon — what's the risk-tier delta and which vendor comes out safer?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a side-by-side OT/ICS vendor risk comparison before a procurement or migration decision, and you want a risk-tier delta grounded in the same DeepSeek assessment model used for single-vendor assessments. Prefer this over running two separate /ot/vendor-risk calls when you need the delta calculation and comparative summary in a single structured response.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unrecognized vendor names return low-confidence or error responses
- Missing required vendor_current or vendor_proposed parameters result in a 400 bad request
- DeepSeek model timeout or unavailability causes delayed or failed responses
- Very niche or obscure product lines may return generic vendor-level assessments rather than product-specific ones
- x402 payment failure blocks the request entirely

## How this service works

Counterfactual vendor-swap risk comparison. Pass vendor_current, vendor_proposed (optionally product_current, product_proposed). Runs the same DeepSeek assessment used by /ot/vendor-risk on each vendor and returns the risk-tier delta plus per-vendor summaries — for pre-purchase or migration decisions.

## Output

Returns the risk-tier delta between the current and proposed vendor (e.g., HIGH → MEDIUM), individual risk tier assessments for each vendor, and per-vendor narrative summaries generated by a DeepSeek-backed OT risk model, enabling side-by-side comparison for procurement or migration decisions.
