Diagnose a stated payout hold API

The Diagnose a stated payout hold operation is part of the Marketplace Account Health API on BRAINIAC.software. Read the amount, currency, date, and reason stated on a hold. The hold is not removed and the record is not treated as a release. It is exposed as POST /api/v1/marketplace-health/payout-hold-diagnose and priced at $0.04 USDC on Base. Payment uses the x402 exact scheme: an unpaid call returns HTTP 402 with payment requirements; after paying the exact USDC amount, retry the same request with a payment-signature header and Idempotency-Key. No account and no API key are required. Data sources for this product: Notices, metrics, and policies supplied in the request. Limitations: Records are copied only from labeled fields in the request. A notice is matched only to policy text supplied in the request. A draft does not predict an appeal result or a payout release. No seller account is accessed and no marketplace is contacted. A missing field means it was not in the supplied documents. Outputs are compliance prechecks, drafts, or data lookups for human review. They are not official determinations, legal advice, identity confirmation, or certified filings. Related operations in this group include Extract marketplace notices, Analyze seller performance metrics, Check restriction evidence, Classify a notice against supplied policies.
