## 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 time-entries-string-normalisation-6fba7a3e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you normalise the string fields in these time entries? I have 4 rows: row-1 project 'group-a' date 2026-10-01 hours 10 billable 1, row-2 project 'group-b' date 2026-10-02 hours 20 billable 2, row-3 project 'group-a' date 2026-10-03 hours 15 billable 3, row-4 project 'group-b' date 2026-10-04 hours 30 billable 4.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you have up to 200 time entry records with inconsistent or dirty string fields (project names, dates) and need lightweight local normalisation without external enrichment. Ideal for pre-processing timesheet exports before loading into billing or reporting systems. Not suitable for forecasting, enrichment with external data, or datasets exceeding 200 rows.

## Known failure modes

- Rows array empty or missing — validation error returned
- row_id missing or blank on any record — schema violation
- date field not matching YYYY-MM-DD pattern — rejected record
- More than 200 rows submitted — request rejected with max items error
- hours or billable_hours out of numeric bounds — rejected
- Malformed JSON body — 400 bad request

## How this service works

One of 25 profiles or calculations across 20 shared operations in this sector. 0.01 USDC includes one bounded string normalisation deliverable.

## Output

Returns normalised versions of the submitted time entry records with cleaned and standardised string fields (project names, dates) and corrected data quality issues, preserving row_id references for downstream matching.
