## 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-procurement-questions-generator-213564f2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you generate targeted procurement and due-diligence questions I should ask vendors who submitted proposals for our 6-week scheduling improvement project at our door installation company? Here's the brief: we're a two-person crew looking to optimize weekday appointment booking, and I want questions focused on scope clarity, implementation effort, and staff training requirements.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to rapidly generate structured, context-aware procurement or vendor due-diligence questions from an existing project brief or proposal document. It is especially useful when a procurement team lacks the time or expertise to manually craft detailed evaluation questions, or when standardizing the vendor assessment process across multiple proposals. Prefer this over generic LLM prompting when you want a structured output with assumptions, evidence gaps, and a review flag built in.

## Known failure modes

- Brief or source_text too short (below minLength) returns a validation error
- Source text or brief exceeding maxLength (32000/12000 chars) is rejected
- Vague or ambiguous brief may produce generic questions with low specificity
- Missing audience field results in questions not tailored to a specific stakeholder
- Payment failure (x402) causes the request to be rejected before processing
- Network timeout if the generation takes longer than expected for large inputs

## How this service works

Develop procurement and due-diligence questions tailored to the supplied scope and business requirements. Uses buyer-supplied information only; no external research or outbound actions. Returns a draft for human review.

## Output

Returns a structured JSON object containing: a summary of the generated procurement questions, a detailed artifact with categorized due-diligence questions (e.g. scope, deliverables, implementation, staff requirements), a list of assumptions made, identified evidence gaps, a provenance record with generation timestamp, a request ID, and a flag indicating whether human review is recommended.
