DQS 56 · .agency · 5ch · brandable
Directional only — a gut-check range, not an appraisal. Uses DQS + TLD + length; doesn’t know about comps, trademarks, or brand context. Treat as “worth looking at” vs “skip,” not a bid price.

grade.agency is a keyword-forward name — "grade" carries intrinsic meaning before any branding layer is added. Short names like this (5 chars) tend to be the sweet spot for SaaS brandability — memorable without hitting the premium-tax of 3-4 letter names. The phonetics are balanced between vowels and consonants — typical for a pronounceable English-style name. .agency has established itself as a commercial TLD — SaaS and dev-tool brands in particular accept it as first-choice rather than a fallback. With zero Wayback coverage, the domain's prior history is effectively a clean slate from a content perspective. DQS 56/100 is the mid-band: the domain has real signals behind it but isn't an obvious standout. Mid-band names reward buyers who understand a specific niche. Redemption-period status means the owner has about 29 days left to reclaim the name. Any outside party can only wait and watch. The keyword component is the honest hook here.
