## 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-saas-category-spend-benchmarks-71f97728
```

Example prompt: What's the typical monthly spend benchmark for CRM software at a mid-market SaaS company in the fintech industry — give me the median and the p25/p75 band so I can see if our budget is in range.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need statistically grounded, percentile-banded SaaS spend benchmarks by company size and industry — particularly when a CFO, procurement team, or budget planner needs to validate or size software category spend against industry peers. Prefer this over generic market research when you need machine-verifiable results with cryptographic receipts.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unsupported software category — returns 400 or empty result
- Industry or company_size parameter not recognized — returns validation error
- Insufficient sample size for the requested segment — benchmark may be suppressed or flagged
- Payment failure (x402 protocol) — returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded — returns 429
