Quality
QDS describes the intrinsic quality of the name. It does not change because an asking price changes or one buyer pays an unusual amount.

Value is a range, not a single number.
Quantum Domain Value (QDV) translates the quality profile of a domain into a theoretical retail market-value range. It is anchored to reported comparable sales, robust statistics and market structure, but it deliberately does not claim to predict the exact price a future buyer will pay. The central reference is Q50; the surrounding percentiles show how wide a plausible theoretical retail range can be.

Three layers — one-way, not circular.
Theoretical retail value
QDV places quality into market context and returns a range. Reported sales calibrate scale and dispersion rather than a guaranteed future transaction.
Seller strategy
The asking price is a commercial position. QuantumDomains defaults to Q50 × 5, while manual overrides remain possible without rewriting QDS or QDV.
How to read the five QDV markers.
Low plausible zone
A lower theoretical retail outcome. It is not a liquidation or wholesale estimate.
Lower quartile
The lower quartile of the theoretical retail range for a domain with this profile.
Central value
The central theoretical retail value and the reference used for the default Auto Asking calculation.
Upper quartile
A stronger theoretical retail outcome, still within the central distribution rather than the extreme tail.
High plausible zone
A high but plausible theoretical retail outcome. It is not a promise that such a buyer will appear.

QDS vs. theoretical Q50
How QDV is calibrated.
Medians before trophies.
Reported sales remain evidence, including very high outcomes, but robust statistics prevent one trophy transaction from forcing the central theoretical value.
Different regimes matter.
Short .com, dictionary .com, compounds, brandables, .ai and other extension groups do not occupy identical markets. QDV retains this context without pretending every segment is perfectly predictable.
Ranges stay wide on purpose.
Real domain sales are noisy. Q25–Q75 and P10–P90 preserve that uncertainty rather than hiding it behind false decimal precision.
Auto Asking is seller strategy.
Default QuantumDomains rule
The marketplace asking price deliberately sits above the central theoretical retail value to preserve negotiation room and recognize that the portfolio is not under forced-sale pressure.
Auto Asking = Q50 × 5
| Calculated asking | Round to nearest |
|---|---|
| Below $10,000 | $100 |
| $10,000–49,999 | $500 |
| $50,000–249,999 | $1,000 |
| $250,000–999,999 | $5,000 |
| $1,000,000 and above | $10,000 |
A manual asking-price override may replace Auto Asking for an individual listing without changing QDS or QDV.
What the price does not mean.
QDV is an indicative theoretical valuation range, not a transaction-price guarantee.
A real sale depends on buyer-specific strategic fit, budget, timing, negotiation, venue, financing, seller motivation and the scarcity of alternatives at that moment.
Q50 is therefore a disciplined reference point, while the Asking Price remains an intentional seller decision.
