Strategic observation

caplightintelligence.com carries high BrandTax that represents a measurable drag on marketing performance and brand equity. A domain upgrade should be treated as a strategic investment with quantifiable ROI. 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.
