Manual shortlist assembly
Names get collected fast, then hours go into Sheets, decks, and rewriting the reasoning for the client.
Solutions · For studios & agencies
Client briefs into client-safe shortlists.
Run the brief against real one-word domains, build a shortlist with ownability and risk proof attached, and present options you will not have to walk back in the meeting.
Sourcing is easy. Presenting is the painful part.
The hours go into formatting, rechecking, and defending choices, and most of them are not billable.
Late surprises burn credibility
A name gets presented, the client loves it, and then the price or availability turns out to be unrealistic.
The reasoning lives in one head
Why each option made the cut is strategist memory, so reviews and revisions become non-billable archaeology.
From brief to presentable, with the proof attached.
The same curation you do today, minus the rechecking and the manual formatting.
01
Start from the brief
Run the client brief as a search: tone, market, budget, and constraints become real filters.
02
Curate with proof in view
Every candidate carries ask price, status, renewal, risk signals, and TLD coverage while you sort keepers from noise.
03
Build the shortlist
Structured states and notes replace the Sheets tab. The reasoning stays attached to each name.
04
Prepare the recommendation
Review the finalists side by side on fit, cost to own, and risk before you commit to a direction.
05
Share and collect feedback
Package the direction into a shareable brand pack where stakeholders can react in one place.
The workflow studios actually run today.
Search, projects, shortlists, and deliverables are live. Sold as a workflow, not as a full agency OS.
Prompt search
A client brief in plain words becomes filters, keywords, and real candidates.
A project per brief
Each client brief keeps its own search logic, shortlist, and notes.
Shortlists with states
Candidate, finalist, chosen, rejected: explicit states instead of color-coded cells.
Ownability proof
Ask, renewal, availability, and the acquisition path on every option you show.
Risk flags, early
Trademark prescreen and history signals before a risky name reaches the client.
Radars for slow mandates
Keep a saved search alive per client and review new matches as they appear.
Answer "why this one?" before the client asks.
Every option you present carries the same three answers, so the recommendation reads as method, not taste.
Fit
Word profile, tone, and demand context that connect the name back to the brief.
Ownability
Ask price, renewal, availability status, and the realistic acquisition path.
Risk
Trademark prescreen, history and reputation signals, and spelling confusion, flagged early.

Studio questions, answered.
What is live today, what Agency adds later, and where the product stops.
We already build decks ourselves. What changes?+−
The research and the reasoning stop being manual. Options arrive with prices, status, risk, and TLD coverage attached, and the shortlist keeps the why on each name, so the deliverable becomes the last step instead of the whole job.
Can we rely on it for legal clearance?+−
No. The trademark prescreen is an early caution signal that keeps obviously risky names out of client decks. Formal clearance stays with counsel.
Is there a full agency workspace with seats and roles?+−
Not yet. The Agency plan with 5 seats, linguistics filters, and higher export and API capacity is coming soon and is not available for checkout yet. Studios run on Pro today: search, projects, shortlists, and shared packs are live.
How do clients review the options?+−
Package the direction into a brand pack and share it. Stakeholders react in one place instead of across email threads, and the shortlist keeps the reasoning that answers their questions.
Does it work for brokers packaging options for a buyer?+−
Yes. The same loop applies: run the mandate as a search, keep a Radar alive for it, shortlist with proof attached, and present options with ask, renewal, and acquisition paths the buyer can verify.
