## 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 research-brief-generator-3e0147b7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you build me a structured research brief on 'the health effects of microplastics in drinking water'? Use these three sources: https://example.com/study1, https://example.com/report2, and https://example.com/article3 — I want findings, evidence, any conflicts between the sources, key risks, and open questions.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single synthesized, structured document from multiple sources rather than raw extraction or simple summarization. It is best suited for research workflows where you need findings, conflicts, risks, and open questions organized together — as opposed to sibling endpoints that perform narrower tasks like fact-checking a single claim, extracting a timeline, or evaluating one source's credibility.

## Known failure modes

- Source URL is inaccessible, paywalled, or returns an error — brief may be incomplete or fail
- Topic or question exceeds character limits — request rejected with validation error
- More than three source URLs supplied — request rejected
- Source content is too thin or non-textual (e.g. a PDF image scan) — output may be sparse
- Highly technical or ambiguous topic yields vague or overly broad findings

## How this service works

Create a structured research brief from one to three sources with findings, evidence, conflicts, risks, and unanswered questions

## Output

A structured research brief document containing: key findings from the supplied sources, supporting evidence and quotations, identified conflicts or contradictions between sources, risks or caveats flagged in the material, and a list of unanswered questions or gaps not addressed by the sources.
