## 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 signedfacts-flare-top-deteriorating-companies-8307c4c6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Which 10 US-listed companies have deteriorated the most based on their 8-K filings over the past year — I want tickers, CIK numbers, their deterioration scores, and any delisting or default items flagged, with a cryptographic attestation from SignedFacts.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pre-computed, cryptographically attested ranking of the most distressed US-listed companies based on SEC 8-K filings — particularly when verifiability of the data source matters (EIP-191 signature). Ideal for agents doing equity screening, credit risk monitoring, or portfolio risk flagging where an auditable, signed fact is more valuable than a raw API response. At $0.02 USDC per call, it is cost-effective for periodic monitoring. Prefer this over building your own SEC EDGAR scraper when you want a ready-to-use distress score with attestation rather than raw filing data.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or USDC balance insufficient — request rejected before data is returned
- SEC EDGAR data temporarily unavailable or stale — scores may not reflect most recent filings
- Invalid POST format or missing required headers — 4xx error returned
- SignedFacts wallet signing service unavailable — response may be unsigned or delayed
- Network latency on Base chain payment confirmation — query may time out

## How this service works

Top 10 US-listed companies with the worst 8-K deterioration over the last year (ticker, CIK, score, 8-K count and items such as 3.01 delisting / 2.04 default), computed from SEC EDGAR, EIP-191 signed by the SignedFacts wallet. 0.02 USDC per query on Base.

## Output

A ranked list of 10 US-listed companies with the worst 8-K deterioration over the past year, each entry containing the company ticker symbol, CIK number, a computed deterioration score, total 8-K filing count, and specific distress item types such as item 3.01 (delisting notices) and item 2.04 (triggering events of default). The response is cryptographically signed via EIP-191 by the SignedFacts wallet, providing on-chain-verifiable attestation of the data's authenticity. Delivered as a structured payload over the Base blockchain payment rail.
