## 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 stratalize-citation-authority-analysis-90928536
```

Example prompt: How authoritative is Roe v. Wade — citation '410 U.S. 113' — can you pull the citation count, which courts have cited it, and whether it's classified as landmark or highly cited?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to assess the precedential weight or citation authority of a specific legal case — especially when cryptographic verification of the result is required. Prefer this over general legal search tools when the output needs to be auditable or when the authority classification (landmark vs. limited) is the key signal needed for legal analysis, M&A due diligence, or litigation strategy.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or invalid citation returns no results or 404
- Ambiguous case name without a formal citation may return incorrect case
- CourtListener data lag may mean very recent cases have incomplete citation counts
- Malformed citation string causes input validation error

## How this service works

Stratalize — attested finance, legal, healthcare, and compliance intelligence. Signed, independently verifiable receipt on every call (trust.stratalize.com/verify). Citation authority analysis — how many times a case has been cited, by which courts, and authority signal (landmark / highly cited / frequently cited / limited). Source: CourtListener

## Output

Returns the number of times the case has been cited, a list of citing courts, and an authority signal classification (landmark, highly cited, frequently cited, or limited). Each response is ML-DSA-65 signed and includes a cryptographic receipt verifiable at trust.stratalize.com/verify.
