Example prompt: Can you benchmark our total software stack spend against other mid-market companies in the financial services industry — I want to see the median monthly total, category breakdown, and productivity tool medians?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to validate or contextualize a company's total software stack spend against industry peers, broken down by category and company size. Prefer this over generic market research when you need structured, ML-signed benchmark data with cryptographic provenance that can be independently verified.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized industry value returns an error or empty result
- Unsupported company_size parameter returns a validation error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance prevents the call from completing
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in a short window
- No benchmark data available for a niche industry/size combination
