bn.dev fits the acronym pattern. Short all-consonant SLDs only carry weight if paired with a clear identity behind them. At 2 characters it lands in the "very short" bucket, which is where the aftermarket premium lives — sub-5 names in any desirable TLD are scarce and defended. Consonant-dense and choppy phonetically. The .dev extension signals a modern tech or commercial use case, which pairs well with a brandable shape. The Wayback Machine has no archived snapshots of the domain, suggesting it was parked or lightly used in any prior registrations. Weak DQS (39/100) means the pipeline saw more penalty than positive signal. These names occasionally find a buyer but the base rate is low. Because the name is still in redemption (day 18 of 30), its future is largely controlled by whether the prior registrant pays the restore fee. Bottom line: the score doesn't justify an aggressive chase. Include it on a passive watchlist at most.
