## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability stratalize-earnings-quality-benchmark-158bcd27
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the earnings quality benchmark for the healthcare sector using a subscription revenue recognition model — I need the accruals ratio, cash conversion, and revenue recognition risk score before our M&A review call?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need auditable, cryptographically verifiable earnings quality benchmarks grounded in SEC EDGAR filings and the Sloan accruals model, particularly for M&A due diligence, investment screening, or audit workflows where provenance and tamper-evidence matter. Prefer this over generic financial data APIs when you need sector-specific accruals and revenue recognition risk rather than raw financial statements.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported sector enum value returns 400 bad request
- Invalid revenue_recognition_model enum value returns 400 bad request
- SEC EDGAR data temporarily unavailable returns 503 service unavailable
- Payment of 0.02 USDC not confirmed returns 402 payment required
- Cryptographic signing service unavailable may delay or block response
