## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability www-stratalize-com-2dd7e109
```

Example prompt: Pull the full ESG benchmarks for the energy sector — I need carbon intensity, net zero commitments, SBTi alignment, board independence, and pay equity all in one shot.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent or analyst needs pre-aggregated, sector-level ESG benchmarks from authoritative sources (EPA GHGRP, MSCI) rather than raw filings. Ideal for portfolio screening, ESG gap analysis, regulatory compliance context, or sustainability reporting where sector-level comparisons are sufficient and individual company data is not required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid sector enum value returns 400 with validation error
- Invalid focus enum value returns 400 with validation error
- Data unavailable for a specific sector/focus combination may return partial results or 404
- Payment not processed or insufficient USDC balance returns 402 payment required
- Upstream EPA GHGRP or MSCI data source outage may cause 503 or stale data

## How this service works

Use when a sustainability agent or ESG analyst needs sector carbon and governance benchmarks. Returns Scope 1/2 intensity, net zero commitments, SBTi alignment, board independence, pay equity, and ESG composite scores by sector. Source: EPA GHGRP + MSCI. Every response is attested for integrity verification in regulated automation workflows.

## Output

A structured response containing sector-level ESG metrics including Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas intensity, net zero commitment status, SBTi alignment flag, board independence percentage, pay equity ratios, and an overall ESG composite score for the requested sector and focus area.
