Example prompt: Can you find historical events similar to the current debt ceiling crisis in the US using Wintel's event similarity analysis — I want to see what comparable past situations looked like for investment purposes?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need historical precedent or analogous event context for a specific country risk, crypto, or equity situation — particularly when building event-driven investment narratives or validating current risk scores against past patterns. Prefer over general news search when structured, investment-focused event similarity is needed.

- Invalid or unrecognized asset identifier returns an error
