## 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-string-normalisation-918ad4b6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you normalise these procurement records for me? I have 4 rows with supplier names like 'group-a' and 'group-b', dates from 2026-10-01 to 2026-10-04, unit costs between 1 and 4, and ordered units between 10 and 30 — clean up the supplier strings and standardise the formatting.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need lightweight, local string and data-quality normalisation on procurement records — specifically cleaning supplier names, standardising dates, and tidying numeric fields — without needing external enrichment, supplier database lookups, or forecasting. Best suited for pre-processing batches of up to 200 rows before analytics, ERP import, or reporting pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- Rows missing required fields (row_id, supplier, date, ordered_units, unit_cost) will be rejected or flagged
- Invalid date format (not YYYY-MM-DD) may cause validation errors
- Exceeding 200 rows returns an error or truncation
- Null numeric values may pass through unchanged if no normalisation rule applies
- Extremely long or malformed supplier strings near the 80-character limit may be truncated
