Domain check
This usually takes about 2 seconds. RDAP catches the case where a domain is registered but currently has no nameservers (expired-redemption, parked, just-registered).
Every phonic in the name carries weight. Here's what each segment does — read left to right.

Bright, technological, small/precise
E reads as 'electronic' to a generation raised on e-commerce. eBay, Etsy, Excel. Front vowels make things feel small and quick.
e.g. eBay · Etsy · Excel · Edison · Equinox

Round, bouba, full
O is the bouba/kiki experiment's round letter — across every language tested, a round shape gets associated with O-sound. Cross-cultural roundness. Best for friendly, premium, container/orb brands.
e.g. Sonos · Roku · Volvo · Otto · Onfido
Fast, crisp, innovation
X is the innovation letter. From X-ray to Tesla Model X, X-prefix signals 'next-generation'. Also a great suffix — Brex, Latex, FedEx, Netflix. The KS-cluster makes any name feel sharper.
e.g. Xerox · Xbox · Tesla Model X · Netflix · Brex
meditation, calm clarity
Z is Placek-noisy + cross-cultural calm semantic. Tension between sound and meaning.
e.g. Zendesk · Zen · Zenly
Japanese (via Chinese chán via Sanskrit dhyāna) root

First-letter feeling
Q-onset: Curious, distinctive, rare
Q is rare. Just appearing at the start of a brand creates distinctiveness. Quibi, Quartz, Quora, Quad. The Q itself is the mnemonic.
Examples: Quora · Quartz · Quibi · Quizlet

How we check. Step 1 (client-side): POST /api/check
with qcheckboxzen.com. The function hashes the SLD against our bloom
filter (built daily from the .com zone). Step 2 (only if step 1 said
"not in zone"): GET /api/rdap?domain=qcheckboxzen.com which HEADs
VeriSign's RDAP endpoint to confirm whether the domain is held at the
registry without active nameservers. Neither step logs your query.
