## 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-discovery-questions-generator-5338b5f6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you generate a structured discovery question guide for a sales call with the operations manager at a residential door installation company? The brief is that we want to understand their current scheduling and crew management process, and here's their website copy as source text: 'We run two-person installation crews across five metro areas, booking 30+ consultations weekly via phone and email.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, sequenced set of discovery questions generated from a specific business context or source document — particularly for sales calls, consulting engagements, or operational assessments. Prefer this over generic question generators when the output needs to be grounded in a provided brief and source text, and when structured output with assumptions and evidence gaps is valuable for human review.

## Known failure modes

- Brief or source_text too short (below minLength) — returns validation error
- Source text exceeds 32,000 character limit — returns schema validation error
- Vague or generic brief may produce generic, low-quality questions
- Payment failure via x402 protocol — endpoint returns 402 and no content is generated
- Slow or ambiguous source text may lead to low-confidence assumptions flagged in evidence_gaps

## How this service works

Develop a sequenced discovery-question guide tied to the supplied product and buyer situation. Uses buyer-supplied information only; no external research or outbound actions. Returns a draft for human review.

## Output

Returns a structured discovery-question guide as a markdown artifact with categorized questions, a plain-language summary, a list of assumptions made, identified evidence gaps, and a flag indicating whether human review is recommended. Also includes a unique request ID and provenance metadata.
