Usable but limited

A clear business word, but bulk sellers rarely need a special ending; expect cheap registrations with little resale value.

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.

.supplystrong parallel
delegated 2014 · live

Same bet: a generic B2B distribution-channel noun that a supplier or distributor puts its primary identity on, monetized by businesses in the trade rather than by consumers.

uncontested · scored 35* in 2012 · run by Half Falls, LLC

.tradestrong parallel
delegated 2014 · live

Same bet: a plain commerce-channel noun whose whole value is signaling business-to-business dealing, so registrants are firms declaring which side of the counter they sell from.

uncontested · scored 50* in 2012 · run by Elite Registry Limited

.discountmoderate
delegated 2014 · live

Same bet in that the string is a pricing posture rather than a product category — the registrant's identity is the price promise itself — but it points at bargain-hunting consumers rather than bulk trade buyers.

2 applicants contested it · scored 40* in 2012 · run by Holly Hill, LLC

* 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.
