The 2012 applications making the most similar bet. Chosen by AI from every string in that round, without being told what happened to any of them.

.truststrong parallel
delegated 2014 · live

Same bet: a generic trust-assertion word whose entire value comes from the registry gating who may hold it, so the string functions as a credential badge rather than a category label.

uncontested · scored 35* in 2012 · run by Deutsche Post AG

.securestrong parallel
delegated 2016 · live

Same bet: a bare English status adjective sold as an assurance claim about the registrant, worthless as a name unless someone vets and enforces the claim behind it.

2 applicants contested it · scored 55* in 2012 · run by Amazon EU S.à r.l.

.safemoderate
delegated 2015 · live

Same shape — an unqualified assurance adjective that any organization would bolt onto its primary identity — but it asserts an outcome rather than an attested, checkable status, so the vetting burden is fuzzier.

uncontested · scored 38* in 2012 · run by Amazon EU S.à r.l.

* 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.
