Straight answers

What the score is, and what it is not.

What is Namepraise?

Namepraise is a free read on a domain name. It scores the name as a future brand, from 0 to 100, across structure, phonetics, brand, meaning, and market. An availability hint sits beside the score and does not change it. The result is not a price appraisal.

How does Namepraise score a domain?

The score is a weighted average of up to 22 criteria. Length, character set, TLD class, character pattern, and meaningful numbers are calculated directly. Phonetics, brand, meaning, and market are judged by Jev. Only criteria that apply are included. Offensive or NSFW content, spam or scam, and typosquatting can cap the score.

What do the scores mean?

0–34 is Pass, 35–49 is Weak, 50–64 is Consider, 65–79 is Buy, and 80–100 is Strong buy. If model certainty is below 40%, the label is Review instead of that band. The percentage says how settled the model's answers were, not the chance the score is right.

Does a high score mean the domain is available and safe to register?

No. Availability is a best-effort RDAP lookup and never changes the score. A missing registry record is not a promise that you can register the name. The score is not a trademark search or a legal opinion. Confirm availability, price, and conflicts before you buy.

How should you use the result?

Use it to compare names before you commit. Read the criteria that came out low, then check the name with a registrar and, for conflicts, with counsel. The same request can reuse a cached evaluation for about 30 minutes, so a repeat may not be a new judgment.

The method, not the magic

A little less guesswork.

Namepraise looks at a domain as a future brand, not a price tag. Measurable signals meet AI-assisted judgment in one weighted score.

Only relevant criteria count. Risk signals can cap the final score. The availability badge is a best-effort RDAP lookup and never affects the score. This is not a price appraisal or a trademark/legal opinion.
