## 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 tradepilotusa-decision-memo-generator-5b51ef80 -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: Can you generate a decision memo comparing these two vendor proposals for our scheduling improvement project? The audience is our operations leadership team — here's the brief: 'Choose between Vendor A ($500 process assessment) and Vendor B ($800 assessment plus staff workshop) for improving our installation scheduling.' And here's the full proposal text from both vendors.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, audience-aware decision memo generated from raw source text — especially for vendor comparisons, policy evaluations, or build-vs-buy analyses. It is particularly useful when you want explicit assumptions, evidence gaps, and a human-review flag surfaced automatically. Prefer it over generic text-generation endpoints when you need a formal business artifact with provenance metadata rather than freeform prose.

## Known failure modes

- Source text or brief below minimum length (minLength:10/20) returns validation error
- Source text exceeding 32,000 characters or brief exceeding 12,000 characters returns payload-too-large error
- Malformed or missing required fields return 400 Bad Request
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns 402 Payment Required
- Service unavailability returns 503; response may be incomplete if input is ambiguous or lacks sufficient detail for comparison

## How this service works

Compare supplied options using stated criteria, tradeoffs, unknowns, and a reasoned recommendation. Uses buyer-supplied information only; no external research or outbound actions. Returns a draft for human review.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a task identifier, a concise summary of the analysis, a full artifact document (the memo in markdown), a provenance block (source, generation timestamp, whether external research was performed), a request ID, a list of stated assumptions, a list of evidence gaps, and a boolean flag indicating whether human review is required before acting on the memo.
