Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-kyb-complete-ca-canadian-business-verification-28bb9fd8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run a full KYB compliance check on a Canadian company called 'Maple Horizon Technologies Inc.' — also check their domain maplehorizon.ca and screen the contact Jane Dupont at jane@maplehorizon.ca for PEP exposure?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, auditable KYB check specifically for a Canadian company — covering registry verification, compliance checks, financial validation, and optional PEP screening in a single call. Prefer this over generic business lookup APIs when you need structured, compliance-grade output with an audit trail, or when operating in a Canadian regulatory context requiring formal KYB documentation.

## Known failure modes

- Company not found in Canadian registry — returns error indicating no match for the provided name or corporation number
- Invalid or unrecognized domain format — validation error on domain field
- Malformed VAT number prefix — rejected before registry lookup
- PEP screening unavailable without contact_name — partial results returned
- Network or upstream registry timeout — returns error with no partial data
- Insufficient funds / payment failure — x402 payment not processed, no result returned
