## 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-vendor-risk-assessment-c583dcd6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run a vendor risk assessment on Acme Corp (domain: acmecorp.com) before we sign the contract with them?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, auditable vendor risk assessment with cryptographic proof of the result — especially in compliance or procurement workflows requiring defensible third-party risk records. Prefer this over generic web searches or credit-check APIs when you need a standardized risk score across 27 countries with an immutable audit trail.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unrecognizable company domain returns no match or low-confidence result
- Invalid CIK or ticker symbol causes lookup failure
- Company with no public data footprint returns sparse or incomplete risk profile
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) prevents call from completing
- Ambiguous company name resolves to wrong entity

## Output
