Vanity and narrow

A narrow industrial keyword; a handful of parts sellers may use it, but serious manufacturers will keep their main site elsewhere.

never delegated

Same bet: a single named engineered component category owned as a namespace, where the plausible registrants are the manufacturers, distributors and spec-sheet publishers of that exact part rather than a consumer public.

Also a specific manufactured part-category noun whose registrant base is makers and sellers of that one component, though it carries a consumer-retail demand side that a pure industrial-supply word like bearing does not.

Same category-noun-for-components logic and same B2B supply-chain buyer, but it is the umbrella word for the whole class, so it bets on breadth where the target bets on one narrow engineered niche.

* A separate 2012-only read, time-locked to what was public that year. Different scale from this page’s score — the two are not comparable.
