## 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 verdict-lead-qualify-299f00ed -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: We just got this contact form submission — can you qualify it and tell me which routing lane it belongs to (spam, job application, vendor pitch, existing customer, or real project)? The message is: 'Hi, I run a logistics startup and need a custom dashboard built for tracking 50 drivers in real time — budget is around $30k and we need it live by Q3.' The sender's email is ops@logisticsco.com and they consented to a callback.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need automated, rule-augmented lead triage for an inbound sales pipeline — especially when you want hard rules (disposable email detection, obvious spam patterns) applied before AI judgment, and when you need structured routing lanes rather than a free-text opinion. Prefer this over a generic sentiment or classification endpoint because it is purpose-built for sales lead qualification with domain-specific categories and urgency detection.

## Known failure modes

- Missing message field — the 'message' input is required; omitting it will return a validation error
- Disposable or invalid email address triggers an automatic hard-rule block before AI classification
- Ambiguous messages with insufficient context may produce a low-confidence classification
- Very short or empty messages may be classified as spam by default hard rules
- API payment failure (x402) if the caller's wallet has insufficient USDC balance

## How this service works

Inbound lead qualification and routing for sales agents: spam, job application, vendor pitch, existing customer, or a real project with urgency. Hard rules first (disposable email, tests), returns a routing lane.

## Output

Returns a routing lane classification (e.g. spam, job_application, vendor_pitch, existing_customer, real_project) along with signals about urgency, disposable email detection, and reasoning for the routing decision, allowing sales agents to automatically direct the lead to the appropriate queue or discard it.
