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.

cat88.dev mixes letters and digits, which historically caps aftermarket value below comparable all-letter equivalents. At 5 characters the name sits in the short bucket — not ultra-premium, but comfortably in the zone where brandable startups shop. The phonetics are 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. At DQS 53, the name sits in the mid band — not an automatic buy, but worth evaluating against a specific use case rather than on its own merits. Because the name is still in redemption (day 8 of 30), its future is largely controlled by whether the prior registrant pays the restore fee. Bottom line: evaluate this one against a specific use case you have in mind. Mid-band names don't sell themselves — they sell when the buyer is already looking.
