## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability transitpulse-compensation-eligibility-checker-aece532d
```

Example prompt: My Eurostar train from London to Paris was delayed by 95 minutes yesterday (2025-07-10) and I paid £180 for the ticket — can you check if I'm eligible for compensation under EU rail rules and tell me exactly what percentage I'm owed and the claim deadline?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need deterministic, article-level regulatory citations for passenger compensation rather than general travel advice. It is superior to LLM-generated answers for compensation questions because it returns exact percentages, deadlines, and legal references without hallucination risk. Best for building claim-assistance tools, travel insurance agents, or passenger rights chatbots covering UK Delay Repay, EU Rail 2021/782, EU/UK ferry and coach regulations, or US cruise rules.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'mode' or 'country' parameters returns a validation error
- Unsupported country/mode combinations may return a no-coverage response
- Invalid date format for journey_date causes computation error
- Regulations not applicable to the given country/mode combination return null eligibility
- Edge cases like extraordinary circumstances may return operator-defense flags rather than a refund amount

## How this service works

Rail/coach/ferry/cruise compensation eligibility — UK Delay Repay, EU Rail 2021/782 (25/50%), EU/UK ferry 1177/2010, EU coach 181/2011, US FMC cruise refunds (46 CFR 540, 3-day rule), Athens Convention ship baggage — plus honest answers for VIA, Amtrak, India TDR, Japan JR. Deterministic percentages, article-level citations, claim-deadline math, operator defenses. No LLM.

## Output

Returns deterministic compensation eligibility details including applicable regulation name and article citations, refund percentage or fixed amount, computed refund value based on ticket price, claim submission deadline calculated from journey date, and any operator defenses that could reduce or void the claim.
