Strategic observation

caplight.io carries significant BrandTax that is likely impacting marketing efficiency and brand recall. The .io extension adds further trust and recall friction. The domain contains orthographic friction (difficult consonant sequence "ght", silent letters in "ght") — research on positional letter frequency norms (Treiman & Kessler and Ziegler et al.) shows these patterns increase misspelling rates and slow recognition, reducing type-in accuracy.
