startup-grade brand feel and compact, plus smooth phonetics
Moderate scoring — fine as a portfolio filler if the aftermarket covers cost, not a chase on its own.
Synthesized from the DQS, aftermarket estimate, registration cost, lifecycle stage, and trademark check on this page. Not financial advice — your portfolio strategy overrides.

DQS 57 · .guru · 5ch · brandable
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.

rules.guru is a keyword-forward name — "rules" 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. .guru is a niche TLD with a narrower buyer pool; the aftermarket here depends heavily on whether the SLD itself carries standalone demand. With zero Wayback coverage, the domain's prior history is effectively a clean slate from a content perspective. DQS 57/100 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 26 days left to reclaim the name. Any outside party can only wait and watch. The keyword component is the honest hook here.

Social handle availability
A 404 on the profile page means the handle is free to claim. Grabbing matching handles at registration time is cheap insurance against impersonation + easier brand rollout later.

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.
