## 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 qsig-geopolitical-risk-score-api-ed801be7
```

Example prompt: What's the current geopolitical risk score right now — including the regime label, how it's changed in the last 24 hours, and how it ranks against the past 30 and 90 days?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, quantified geopolitical risk signal with historical context (percentile ranks vs 30- and 90-day baselines) and regime classification rather than raw news or unstructured political commentary. Ideal for macro-aware AI agents, investment decision pipelines, risk monitoring dashboards, or any reasoning task that needs a single authoritative geopolitical risk number with supporting context. Prefer this over general news APIs when you need a computed, normalized risk score rather than raw headlines alone.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not fulfilled — 402 response if x402 payment header is missing or incorrect
- Invalid query parameters — 400 response if unrecognized parameters are passed
- Service temporarily unavailable — 503 if the scoring pipeline is delayed beyond update window
- Rate limiting — potential throttling if called excessively without payment
- Stale data — score may be up to 15 minutes behind real-time if mid-update cycle

## How this service works

QSIG geopolitical risk score (0-100) with 24h change, percentile rank vs 30-day and 90-day history, regime label, and relevance-classified event headlines. Use when reasoning about event risk or macro regime. Computed observation, not a forecast. Updated every ~15 minutes.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: a geopolitical risk score from 0-100, the 24-hour change in that score, percentile rank benchmarked against 30-day and 90-day historical distributions, a regime label (e.g. elevated, stable, crisis), and a set of current event headlines classified by relevance to geopolitical risk. Data is computed observations updated approximately every 15 minutes, not forecasts.
