## 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 procurement-council-ai-panel-ce10dbf1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run a procurement council debate on whether we should go with Salesforce or HubSpot for our CRM — I need the full vote breakdown from the CFO, CIO, CISO, and Procurement Lead, plus a final verdict?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, multi-persona governance simulation of a procurement or vendor decision — especially when you require an audit trail (ERC-8004 proof of deliberation) for compliance or board-level documentation. It is ideal over single-LLM analysis when you want distinct CFO, CIO, CISO, and Procurement Lead perspectives with a forced vote outcome rather than a single recommendation.

## Known failure modes

- Vague or ambiguous prompt may produce low-quality deliberation with shallow findings
- Prompt lacking vendor names or decision context may result in generic recommendations
- Panel may not reach consensus if the scenario is highly ambiguous, producing a tied or inconclusive vote
- Malformed input or missing prompt field returns a validation error
- Service unavailability or payment failure returns a 402 or 5xx error

## How this service works

5-11 agent panel debate playing CFO + CIO + CISO + Procurement Lead. Forced vote on any vendor decision. Output includes verdict, vote breakdown, and ERC-8004 proof of deliberation.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a summary of the panel deliberation, an array of findings from the debate across stakeholder personas (CFO, CIO, CISO, Procurement Lead), an array of actionable recommendations, plus a final verdict and vote breakdown. An ERC-8004 proof of deliberation is included as a tamper-evident audit record.
