## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability stratalize-vendor-alternatives-865b69dc
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up alternatives to Salesforce for us — we're mainly looking to switch because of cost — and give me the migration complexity scores and estimated savings for each option?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an organization is actively evaluating a vendor switch, building a competitive RFP, or needs quantified migration complexity and savings estimates for a specific incumbent vendor. Prefer this over general web searches when you need structured, scored, and cryptographically verifiable competitive displacement data from the Stratalize composite.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unrecognized vendor name returns empty or null alternatives list
- Invalid switching reason value may cause validation error
- Network timeout or upstream data unavailability returns 5xx error
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) returns 402 Payment Required
- Malformed request parameters return 400 Bad Request
