## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability stratalize-healthcare-vendor-market-rate-cfa37fd7
```

Example prompt: What's the market rate benchmark for EHR vendors at a community hospital — I just got a quote from Epic and want to see how it stacks up before we negotiate the contract.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need cryptographically signed, independently verifiable healthcare vendor market rate data sourced from CMS for contract negotiation or vendor quote benchmarking. Prefer this over generic market intelligence endpoints when the domain is specifically healthcare vendor procurement and you need defensible, auditable benchmark figures rather than AI-generated summaries.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unsupported vendor category returns an error or empty result
- Vendor name not recognized in the composite dataset may return category-level rates only
- Invalid or missing required parameters (category) returns a 400-level error
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the call via x402 protocol
- Rate data not yet available for niche or emerging vendor categories
