## 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 sourcey-startup-credits-human-verification-review-c8498b5b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Submit our startup offer for human verification on Sourcey — the company is Acme Cloud (acmecloud.io), offering $10,000 in credits to pre-Series A startups, accessible via coupon code at acmecloud.io/startups, with a standing result showing 'claim_or_fund' route and the associated policy and evidence digests.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a human expert to officially verify and publish a startup credits or vendor offer to Sourcey's public record, as opposed to automated machine review. Use this when the offer has cleared initial machine checks (standing_result route is 'claim_or_fund' or similar) and requires the paid human verification step for authoritative publication. This is distinct from free machine review and is appropriate when SLA-backed verification and a signed public record entry are required.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure — x402 payment not processed or insufficient funds returns a payment error
- Invalid input schema — missing required fields like standing_result, company, or offer causes a 422 validation error
- Malformed digests — incorrectly formatted SHA-256 policy or evidence digests cause rejection
- Expired standing result — submitting a standing_result past its expires_at timestamp may be rejected
- Duplicate submission — submitting an identical offer draft already under review may be flagged

## How this service works

Submit a startup credit or startup program for evidence-backed human review. A passing review earns verified status for the exact admitted revision and every run returns a durable decision receipt; payment never guarantees the result or publication.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing an order record with payment confirmation, an assigned submission ID, a status URL to track the review progress, the work state (initially 'queued'), an SLA due date by which the human review will be completed, and digests linking the submission to the funded work intent and product definition.
