## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability stratalize-vendor-risk-signal-0ff2a464
```

Example prompt: Before we finalize our contract with Acme Cloud Solutions, can you pull a vendor risk score for them — I want to see any negative AI citation signals or financial instability flags that might be a red flag for procurement?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, ML-derived risk signal for a specific vendor based on negative citation patterns and stability heuristics — especially useful during procurement screening, supplier onboarding, or financial due diligence. Prefer this over general web search when you need a structured, cryptographically verifiable risk score rather than raw news results.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or very obscure vendor name returns no data or low-confidence score
- Vendor name ambiguity (common names matching multiple entities) may produce incorrect attribution
- Network or payment authorization failure returns 402 or 5xx error
- Newly formed vendors with minimal public signal may return sparse results

## How this service works

Stratalize — attested finance, legal, healthcare, and compliance intelligence. Signed, independently verifiable receipt on every call (trust.stratalize.com/verify). Vendor risk score from negative AI citation signals — risk indicators, negative mention sample, and stability heuristics. Source: Stratalize citation risk composite. Use when screening a vendor for procurement risk or financial instability signals

## Output

Returns a composite vendor risk score derived from negative AI citation signals, a sample of negative mentions, specific risk indicators, and financial stability heuristics. Each response is ML-DSA-65 signed and includes a cryptographic receipt verifiable at trust.stratalize.com/verify.
