## 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 vaaya-headcount-trends-a3ed58cb -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current headcount and growth trend for Stripe? I want to know how fast they're hiring across different functions — pull the full workforce breakdown for stripe.com.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, time-windowed workforce metrics for a specific company — especially headcount totals, growth rates, and functional staffing breakdowns. Prefer this over generic web search when you need machine-readable, comparable workforce data for account prioritization, competitive benchmarking, or sales qualification. It is distinct from employee review endpoints (sentiment/ratings) and full company profile endpoints (financials, funding).

## Known failure modes

- Company domain not recognized or not in Akta database — returns empty or error response
- Ambiguous company identifier returns data for wrong entity
- Stale data if company has not been recently indexed
- Akta UUID not valid — request fails with validation error
- Headcount data unavailable for private or very small companies

## How this service works

Workforce metrics for a company by domain or Akta uuid: total headcount, growth rates across time windows, staffing breakdown by function. Growth/contraction signal for account prioritization.

## Output

Returns structured workforce data for the requested company, including total headcount, headcount growth rates across multiple time windows (e.g. 30-day, 90-day, 1-year), and a staffing breakdown by function or department. Useful as a growth/contraction signal for sales prioritization or competitive research.
