## How to call it through Zero

Example prompt: We're a Series A SaaS startup preparing for our first institutional raise — can you pull up a full due-diligence prep guide including how to structure our data room, what VCs will actually verify at this stage, and any red flags we need to fix before we start taking investor meetings?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a founder or startup-focused agent needs structured, actionable due-diligence preparation guidance — especially when the goal is to organize a data room or anticipate investor scrutiny at a specific funding stage. Prefer this over general pitch or term-sheet endpoints when the primary concern is passing investor verification rather than crafting a narrative or negotiating terms.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid stage parameter may return generic rather than stage-specific guidance
- Overly broad sector input may reduce specificity of red-flag and verification criteria
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Timeout if backend knowledge retrieval is slow

## How this service works

## Output

A structured due-diligence preparation report covering: recommended data-room organization and required documents, a breakdown of what VCs verify at the specified funding stage, common deal-killing red flags founders should address proactively, and realistic timeline expectations for the full due-diligence process.
