Not just availability.

Founder Signal™ scores domain names from 0–100 based on brand strength, risk, and scalability.
What Founder Signal™ measures
Brand length
Shorter names scale better. Under 7 characters is ideal.
Pronounceability
Can someone say it after hearing it once?
Memorability
Will people remember it tomorrow without writing it down?
Extension strength
.com carries weight. Some alternatives work. Most don't.
Character quality
No hyphens. No numbers. No awkward letter clusters.
Brand risk
Generic words, industry clichés, and similarity to existing brands.
