Pick cold-email sending domains, brief ScaledMail to buy them, and size the build. Use for domain ideation, on-brand naming rules, avoiding spam-trap naming patterns, TLD choice, checking the registrar and date spread ScaledMail delivers, and sizing mailboxes and domains with the sizing-calculator playbook. Triggers on domain research, buy domains, sending domains, domain naming, secondary domains, registrars, ScaledMail, how many domains, how many mailboxes, infrastructure sizing, size the build. Do NOT use for DNS/mailbox setup (use the provisioning sub-skill) or connecting inboxes in Instantly (use the instantly-setup sub-skill).

# Domain Research & Briefing the Buy · [Sales Ops] > **Reads:** `{SKILL_BASE}/resources/reference.md` §4, §5, §9 · `{SKILL_BASE}/resources/approved-vendors.md` · **Runs:** `{SKILL_BASE}/playbooks/sizing-calculator`, `{SKILL_BASE}/playbooks/dns-auth-audit` · **Feeds:** the provisioning sub-skill. ## Ask first (don't generate names without these) Domain ideation goes wrong when it starts from the brand word alone. Collect these five before suggesting anything: | # | Ask | Why it changes the answer | |---|---|---| | 1 | **Client's primary website / brand domain** | Every secondary has to be a recognisable variant of it, and you need it to check you aren't duplicating something they already own | | 2 | **Domains they already own** (including parked and previously-used ones) | Near-duplicates of an owned domain are the most common wasted purchase. Also: a previously-burnt domain must not be recycled quietly | | 3 | **How many domains** | Don't guess. Run `playbooks/sizing-calculator` from the monthly goal or the contacts × steps ÷ deadline — the answer is usually larger than people expect | | 4 | **Vertical / motion** — cold outbound, newsletter, events, or enterprise/ABM | Changes the naming register. Enterprise buyers read `-hq` and `-team` variants as fine; a newsletter list does not want an outreach-shaped domain | | 5 | **Anything the client will refuse** | Legal, trademark, or a competitor's near-name. Cheaper to ask than to un-buy | Items 1 and 2 are the two inputs tha
