genuinely brandable with crisp and smooth phonetics
Score suggests a weak resale profile. Unless you have a specific end-user in mind, the carrying cost outweighs the upside.

qicad.org is a keyword-forward name — "qicad" 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. The .org extension is premium real estate — it caps the minimum aftermarket floor and widens the pool of potential buyers willing to pay for fit. With zero Wayback coverage, the domain's prior history is effectively a clean slate from a content perspective. DQS 49/100 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 24 days left to reclaim the name. Any outside party can only wait and watch. The keyword component is the honest hook here.

Redemption period. Original owner can still restore for a fee. Typically catchable ~30-35 days after redemption start — not safe to pay a backorder fee yet if the owner looks active.
