Same bet in shorter form: a life-sciences sector shorthand sold as primary identity to research-and-product companies in that field, winning only if firms accept a sector label in place of a corporate .com.

uncontested · scored 45* in 2012 · run by STARTING DOT LIMITED

.techstrong parallel
delegated 2015 · live

The sibling half of the compound — an industry-shorthand noun whose whole premise is that companies self-identify by sector rather than by name, differing mainly in that it is a horizontal with a far larger registrant pool than a single vertical.

Also a narrow, capital-intensive technical-industry category noun aimed at operating companies rather than consumers or a licensed profession, so it lives or dies on whether a modest population of specialist firms will re-home their primary identity.

* 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.
