## 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-openfunnel-deep-research-84fb2fa7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you do a deep research on acme.com to check if they're hiring engineers in the last 90 days — I want to know if they qualify as a growth-stage company, specifically check up to 50 job postings for signals of technical expansion.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need deep, structured company research driven by job posting signals and custom qualifier logic — especially for sales prospecting, lead qualification, or account enrichment workflows. It is particularly well-suited when you have a specific domain and want to assess hiring intent or company growth stage without manually reviewing job boards. Prefer this over generic web search when you want structured go-to-market intelligence with customizable qualification questions.

## Known failure modes

- Domain not found or invalid — returns error if domain is less than 3 characters or doesn't resolve to a known company
- No job postings found within the timeframe — returns empty or sparse results if the company has no recent hiring activity
- Timeframe too broad — results may be incomplete if timeframe_days approaches 365 and job volume is high
- Rate or quota limits — payment failure or per-call quota exceeded may block the request
- Ambiguous domain — generic or parked domains may return low-quality or irrelevant research results

## How this service works

Give an AI agent a credit account. Set a limit and a spending policy, and the agent makes approved, metered purchases from providers that accept Vaaya.

## Output

A structured research report on the target company domain, including hiring activity signals, answers to custom qualifier and activity questions, and go-to-market intelligence derived from job postings and company data within the specified timeframe.
