What it is

Ceche is a domain appraisal engine that evaluates any domain across 16 dimensions and produces a dollar-value estimate.

Why it exists

Domain investors, brokers, and buyers all need a defensible starting price. Ceche exists to turn scattered signals — length, keywords, TLD, history — into one number you can reason from.

What I did

Built the appraisal engine and its 16-dimension scoring model
Shipped it as three interfaces: Python CLI, terminal UI, and HTTP API
Added bulk appraisal, comparison, caching, and appraisal history

Technical decisions that mattered

One engine, three surfaces

The scoring engine is a core library with thin interfaces on top — CLI for power users, TUI for exploration, API for integration. Same numbers everywhere.

Cache aggressively

Appraisals are deterministic per domain snapshot, so results cache cleanly — bulk runs stay fast without recomputing scores.

What I learned

A model's output is only as trustworthy as its inputs — the hard work was in the dimension weighting, not the interface.

Status

Maintaining — stable, periodic updates
