## 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 strale-competitor-compare-17b4cd78
```

Example prompt: Can you compare stripe.com and braintree.com side by side — I want to understand how they stack up competitively?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, auditable, side-by-side comparison of two specific companies identified by their web domains — particularly useful for due diligence, procurement evaluation, competitive positioning, or investor research where an audit trail with cryptographic verification is required. Prefer this over generic web search when you need machine-readable structured output rather than scraped prose, and when verifiability of the data provenance matters.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unresolvable domain returns an error or empty company data
- One or both domains not found in the data network returns partial or null results
- Network timeout or upstream provider failure returns a 5xx error
- Malformed domain strings (missing TLD, spaces) cause validation errors
- Payment failure via x402 protocol prevents the call from completing

## How this service works

The trust layer for AI agents — 250+ independently tested data capabilities across 27 countries. Execute capabilities via REST, MCP, A2A, or x402 micropayments. Every call returns an audit record with cryptographic chain hashing.

## Output

A structured JSON response with a side-by-side comparison of both companies derived from their domains, including relevant business attributes, differentiators, and competitive signals, along with a cryptographic audit record with chain hashing for verifiability.
