I. Disclaimer
Weckett provides domain pricing estimates derived from machine learning models trained on verified aftermarket sales data. These estimates reflect statistical analysis of historical transactions. They are not appraisals, guarantees of value, or financial advice.
PLAIN ENGLISH: We built a model on real sales. We show our work. We publish our limitations. We tell you the R² and the confidence bands. That's more than anyone else in this industry does. But a model is a model — not a crystal ball. If you make a financial decision based solely on any single pricing tool, including ours, that's on you.
What Weckett Is
- A research publication providing market-derived pricing intelligence
- A dataset of verified aftermarket domain sales with source attribution
- A transparent methodology with published training data, features, and performance metrics
- An independent voice in an industry dominated by conflicted parties
What Weckett Is Not
- A licensed appraisal service
- A broker, dealer, or marketplace
- A provider of financial, investment, tax, or legal advice
- Affiliated with or endorsed by any registrar, registry, or ICANN
Domain values are influenced by factors no model can fully capture — including private negotiations, market timing, buyer intent, brand strategy, legal considerations, and pure luck. Our model explains a portion of price variance. We say exactly how much. If someone else claims 100% accuracy, they're lying.
THE GAP IS REAL. We document the difference between what automated appraisal tools report and what domains actually sell for. That gap is not our opinion — it's math. Every data point is sourced from a verified transaction. Challenge the data if you want. We publish it.

Third Parties
Google Analytics processes anonymized usage data under Google's privacy terms. We don't share your data with anyone else unless legally required (subpoena, court order, etc.).
OUR POSITION: The domain industry profits from information asymmetry — keeping you in the dark about what your assets are worth. We're not going to do the same thing with your personal data. What we collect, we tell you. What we don't need, we don't touch.

WE PREFER PARTNERSHIPS OVER LAWSUITS. If you want to use our data, talk to us. We're builders, not litigators by choice.
