## 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 venturepulse-cap-table-dilution-modeler-4b4f9a39
```

Example prompt: Model my cap table after raising $4M at a $16M pre-money valuation — I currently own 60%, my co-founder owns 25%, and we have a 10% option pool. Show me post-round ownership, dilution percentages for each shareholder, and exit payouts if we sell for $80M.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a founder or startup agent needs precise mathematical modeling of ownership dilution and exit scenarios for a specific funding round, with benchmark context. Prefer over generic financial calculators when startup-specific equity structures, option pools, and VC round mechanics are involved.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid valuation inputs returns a 400 error with field validation details
- Cap table ownership percentages that don't sum to 100% trigger a validation error
- Unrealistic valuation or investment figures may return benchmark warnings
- Payment of 0.15 USDC not received results in 402 Payment Required
- Malformed shareholder structure input returns a schema validation error
