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.
wind, air motion
Lexicon Branding's Windsurf case study — Placek explicitly cites the 'multiplier of associations' (wind + circular motion + sport).
e.g. Windsurf · Windsor
English (Old English) root
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.
e.g. Quora · Quartz · Quibi · Quizlet
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
Zany, attention, edge
Z is loud. Zoom, Zillow, Zendesk, Zara. Less universal than S — Z is more youth-energy. Used when you want the name to feel buzzy or kinetic.
e.g. Zoom · Zillow · Zendesk · Zara · Ziploc

First-letter feeling
W-onset: Wide, welcoming, wave-like

How we check. Step 1 (client-side): POST /api/check
with windqoz.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=windqoz.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.
