## How to call it through Zero

Example prompt: What's the market benchmark for total compensation — base salary percentiles, typical bonus structure, and equity grant norms — for a CFO in the technology sector at a public company in the United States? Show me the data in USD.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative executive and C-suite compensation data specifically (CEO, CFO, CTO, COO, VP-level), including the full pay mix of base, bonus/STI, equity/LTI, and total target compensation. Prefer this over general salary benchmark endpoints when the focus is on senior leadership roles, compensation committee decisions, board approvals, or equity structure norms rather than individual contributor or mid-level manager pay.

## Known failure modes

- Role or sector combination not found in dataset — returns empty or limited results
- Country not covered in benchmark dataset — returns error or nearest proxy market
- Currency conversion unavailable for requested currency
- Insufficient data for niche sector/country combinations — confidence intervals may be wide
- Invalid or unrecognized role title — endpoint may return null or require standardized role taxonomy
