## 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 rafid-business-idea-generator-ea962933 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I'm based in Muscat, have skills in web development and digital marketing, and I've noticed local restaurants struggle with online ordering. I have a budget of 3000 OMR, about 25 hours a week, and prefer a low startup difficulty with a SaaS business model — can you generate a business idea for me in English?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a user wants a structured, locally-grounded business idea specifically for the Omani or Gulf market, especially when they can provide concrete inputs like budget in OMR, skills, city, and target customer. It is particularly valuable when output needs to be in Arabic or when the ideation should be anchored to a published Omani startup framework rather than generic global startup advice. Prefer alternatives for markets outside Oman/Gulf or when no structured framework reference is needed.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (city, skills, or problem) may result in validation errors or generic output
- Budget values outside 0–1,000,000 OMR will be rejected
- Skills array exceeding 100 items or strings over 500 characters will be rejected
- Invalid language enum (anything other than 'ar' or 'en') will cause a schema error
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC will result in 402 Payment Required
- Invalid or missing paymentEvidence may cause payment verification failure
- Very vague or empty problem/customer fields may produce low-quality or generic business ideas
