## 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 willow-people-culture-coach-gardenpatch-xyz-66d72b2d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: My startup just hit 30 people and half our workflows now involve AI agents — can you get Willow to diagnose why our onboarding is failing and give me a concrete action plan to fix it, including an org design recommendation?

## When to prefer this

Choose Willow when you need expert-level people, culture, or org design coaching — especially for challenges involving hybrid human-agent teams, hiring process design, team structure, or cultural issues. Prefer this over generic HR tools when you need a diagnosis plus actionable steps and a concrete deliverable, not just information retrieval. Best suited for founders, people ops leaders, and managers who want structured coaching output rather than raw HR templates.

## Known failure modes

- Vague or underspecified input leads to generic advice with low specificity
- Missing context about team size or current structure reduces accuracy of org design recommendations
- Ambiguous problem framing may result in diagnosis that misses the root cause
- If the situation is highly unusual or niche, the recommendations may not fully apply

## How this service works

Willow — People & culture. People coach. Hiring, org design, and leading teams where half the team is agents. Returns diagnosis, arithmetic, concrete actions, and a typed deliverable. Only here: scope_role (scope role, $0.45) — Define the role by the outcome it owns, then rule on hire vs agent vs don't fill — with a scorecard. map_accountability (map accountability, $0.25) — Map every outcome to a single owner, and expose the gaps and overlaps where work stalls. From $0.18.

## Output

A structured response containing: a diagnosis of the people/culture problem, supporting arithmetic or data reasoning, a prioritized list of concrete actions to take, and a typed deliverable (e.g. an org chart outline, a hiring rubric, a culture framework, or a team operating model).
