## 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-industry-software-spend-profile-77f98082
```

Example prompt: Pull the software spend profile for a 350-person company in the healthcare industry — I want to see category budget ranges, total stack benchmarks, and whether we'd be flagged as an outlier.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need workforce-scaled, industry-specific software spend benchmarks — particularly when sizing a technology budget, validating SaaS expenditures against peers, or flagging cost outliers for a specific company size. Prefer this over generic market research when you need structured, ML-derived data with cryptographic provenance rather than qualitative analyst reports.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported or unrecognized industry string returns a 400 or empty result
- Employee count outside modeled range (e.g. 0 or extremely large) may return null benchmarks
- Missing required parameters (industry or employee_count) result in validation error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the response
- Sparse data for niche industries may produce wide confidence intervals or no outlier flags
