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.

Because "former" is a recognizable word, former.pro benefits from both type-in traffic and search-intent alignment. At 6 characters the name sits in the short bucket — not ultra-premium, but comfortably in the zone where brandable startups shop. The phonetics are balanced between vowels and consonants — typical for a pronounceable English-style name. In .pro the valuation compresses toward the commercial value of the SLD itself rather than the TLD premium. The Wayback Machine has no archived snapshots of the domain, suggesting it was parked or lightly used in any prior registrations. DQS 66/100 puts this firmly in the "worth chasing" band — strong enough to warrant a watchlist entry and an active bid, not strong enough to guarantee an expensive catch. Because the name is still in redemption (day 6 of 30), its future is largely controlled by whether the prior registrant pays the restore fee. Bottom line: the name is too strong to ignore, but the lifecycle stage means the only productive action today is to watchlist it and wait.
