Weak across the board - digit contamination

a-87.link uses a hyphen, which historically hurts domain valuations — hyphenated names consistently trade at a steep discount to their un-hyphenated counterparts. The 4-character length is premium territory; domains this short in established TLDs rarely reach open registration without being caught immediately. Balanced between vowels and consonants — typical for a pronounceable English-style name. A .link address keeps the cost base low but also caps the upside — most serious buyers will weigh it against a .com equivalent. No Wayback snapshots exist for this address, which typically means prior owners never developed a public site. Weak DQS (26/100) means the pipeline saw more penalty than positive signal. These names occasionally find a buyer but the base rate is low. The domain is currently in the Redemption Grace Period — the original owner retains the right to restore for roughly 24 more days. It is not available to register today. Weak signals across multiple dimensions — we'd pass unless you have a very specific reason to claim this exact string.
