## 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-de-german-company-verification-compliance-a860f72a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run a full KYB compliance check on the German company 'Müller Logistics GmbH' — their VAT number is DE811128135, website is mueller-logistics.de, and the contact is Hans Weber at hans@mueller-logistics.de?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to verify a German-registered company specifically, including EU VAT number validation and PEP screening of a contact person. Prefer this over generic company lookup endpoints when you need compliance-grade output with audit trails for regulated onboarding workflows in Germany or the EU.

## Known failure modes

- Company not found in German commercial registry — returns error with no data
- Invalid or unrecognized VAT number format — returns validation error
- Contact name not sufficient for PEP screening — returns partial result
- Domain does not match registered company — flagged in output
- Network timeout or upstream registry unavailable — returns 5xx error

## How this service works

Company data, compliance checks, financial validation. Structured JSON with audit trails. Every capability independently quality-scored.

## Output

Structured JSON containing verified German company registry data, VAT number validation result, PEP screening outcome for the named contact, overall compliance status, and an audit trail suitable for regulatory record-keeping.
