How the score is calculated

The score is deterministic — the same name always gets the same result. It looks at length and syllable count, how easy the name is to spell after hearing it, whether it leans on overused startup patterns, how distinct it is from category clichés, and how it is likely to behave as a domain and a logo.

It is a sanity check, not a verdict. A distinctive name often scores lower on immediate clarity and still wins over five years.
