## 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-startup-cost-estimate-oman-a467938a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you estimate total startup costs for my new shop in Oman — I'm expecting about 5,000 OMR in setup costs, 1,200 OMR per month in fixed costs, 3,000 OMR initial inventory, a 10% reserve, and I want to plan for a 6-month runway? Give me the results in English.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs a structured, framework-grounded startup cost estimate specifically for the Omani market (costs in OMR). It is backed by a published Omani SME guide, making it preferable over generic financial calculators when Oman-specific business planning context or Arabic-language output is required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid currency values (negative or above 1,000,000 OMR) return validation errors
- runwayMonths outside 0–120 range rejected
- Invalid language code (not 'ar' or 'en') causes bad request
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks the request (x402 payment required)
- Missing required fields may result in incomplete estimates or errors
