## 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 qonoro-kyb-entity-verification-5d32afb7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Run a KYB check on Acme Logistics Ltd — I need to know if they're properly registered, whether they show up on any sanctions lists, who the beneficial owners are, and whether we should proceed, review, or reject them for onboarding.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, single-call KYB decision for business onboarding, loan approval, or vendor vetting — especially in fintech or compliance workflows where you need registration status, sanctions screening, beneficial ownership, and a proceed/review/reject recommendation bundled together. Prefer it over manual registry lookups or separate sanctions-check APIs when you want a unified risk score and actionable recommendation without orchestrating multiple data sources yourself.

## Known failure modes

- Company not found in registry — returns not_found status with no risk score
- Ambiguous company name matching multiple entities — may return low-confidence result or require additional identifiers
- Sanctions database temporarily unavailable — may return inconclusive screening result
- Unsupported jurisdiction — may return partial data or error
- Invalid or malformed registration number — returns validation error
